Shadows of the Shore

(This poem is about 3 years old)

Hear the whispers as the wind breathes
The world is but a lingering dream
Shards of reality from a deadened tree
Under the bridge you wait for me

Seeing unreal visions in the moonlit water
Dying is humanity, to a self-slaughter
Majestic sights of watching the fall
The silence only whispers death to all
The dreary mornings of a winter’s wind
Are dragging me further and further to the very end

Walking in the shadows of the shore
Haunting these dark waters even more
Illuminating the evil inside my head
Hallucinating the unreal, the undead

Lost in the vicious sea
Singing unto the stars
Please come save me
I have no watcher in the sky
No guidance, just a lie

Rain seeps through my brain
Flooding me with a sense of pain
Shimmering waves of the reflecting moon
Drowning every thought too soon
Gasping for a light of salvation
Swallowing only sin and temptation

Praying the death I’m awaiting
Cursing the life I’m debating
Sinking to the depths of the blue
Waiting in the black water…
For you…
