Troubled Road

My mouth is burning dry As I continue idly by Feet scraping against the Earth Yearning for a delightful re-birth Night passed and pain flowed Upon this troubled road Rays of sun peep in my eyes Clouds mocking my image as they rise Feeble in the knees, it hurts to move My brain stubborn eager to improve Asking what punishment I'm owed Alone on this troubled road Fallen under the skies tears Which in disguise are my many fears Huddled only by the thunder Ready to forfeit to my slumber Dying in what I have bestowed Buried among this troubled road

Audrey, I am dismayed that this terrific poetry has brought no comments. I know that can be discouraging. I hope to read more from your portfolio. I am impressed with this one.... Jake
