Watery Grave

I sparkle and burst into flame. The winds leave no mark of my ashes to claim. While losing the linchpin of my body, resulting in vaporization, disarray engulfs my land until I’m decomposed from composition. I should be unborn. This world fills me with remorse. Corpses over corpses honor the dead’s tears at the tomb with no guide in which I reside. Dishonor leads me lost and astray, and this world is a wasteland— a watery death of disarray.

Christopher - where to start.... this is awesome... very appealing, dark poetry. I am particularly intrigued with the second stanza..."disarray engulfs my land until I’m decomposed from composition. I should be unborn."...the word play is smart. Such a creative piece! The beginning lines are also interesting as well... Always, Laura
