Stellar Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 The Fisherman --------------------- The calendar ticks by in a bright summer haze A fly weeps its skin off on Damsel filled days Leaves behind a faint trail as changing its ways Transformation completed,resources depleted Takes flight with exotic displays The fisherman casts his stresses away His catch in a keep net is not for display Looks to the sky as the clouds turn to grey Relaxation completed,resources depleted Takes off home with his catch of the day The Damselfly hovering over water that's rife With mating so brief,with no"Trouble and strife" Zips through the air like the swish off a knife Mission completed,resources depleted Takes what it can from a very short life The Fisherman hauls his gear through the door His Wife says to him"get that mess off the floor" He loves her even though such words are a chore Another day is completed,resources depleted Takes to his chair and soon starts to snore The Damselfly had seen out most of that day What goes through its mind,nobody can say It just functions,lives,until fading away Existence completed,resources depleted Just departs peacefully in the last place it lay Sometimes Souls are entwined,never be broken Sealed,legally binding,or with a small gift or a token Most know that connection,words not needed or spoken Connection completed,resources depleted Heart held memories,feelings forever awoken The fisherman offers no line of defence Feelings of love,joy,sorrow,all his own,no pretence During his time,some regrets and some wayward nonsense A long journey completed,resources depleted Some journeys in life are immence His Wife looks at him there in his favourite armchair Sees the years in those lines on his face etched with care The ups and the downs and heartbreaks they share Their mission completed,resources depleted She touches his silvery hair With tears in her eyes and taking a peek In his bag,always checks,times relentless a sneak It was unbelievably his Ninetieth birthday last week Fishing completed,resources depleted Tries to rouse him with a fond peck on the cheek Amongst the contents of his bag and to her great surprise The sight of a Damselfly greets her shocked eyes Its life ended right there with the Fishermans flies Both missions completed.resources depleted Neither will witness another sunrise Stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Empty --------- The world closes in,strangling with emptiness fulfilled When clouding,embracing nothingness deep inside forever smoking Slips into,ties the cord,floats on the gulfstream of its choosing As the ligature around that slender throat then tightens,choking That heart constricted as it echoes empty to each beat Sad icicles that drip Red poison death beneath the moon Caught whispering in mid Rhapsody,a Vampires lustful hymn As Crimson chords melodic breathe a deep orchestral tune The day it dawns too bright now as the night retreats too dark Rains bitter tears as empty as the soul which pleads its woes To what extent such endings saturate that sponge of pain Enticing those who covet dark desires like blackened crows With Emptiness from every pore,caw loud as taking flight Knowing that which severed holds resentment and mistrust To be cruel to be kind is best?,but not as easy as they say When hurt felt in the rebound builds a complex layer of rust It was meant to be so simple and oh!! so the right choice But now I see how cruelty can leave too much for some to bare When it really should be no surprise or major revelation That the emtiness within me,just resides forever there Stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
