Tomorrow away


The morning arrived I thought you knew
you left me no choice but to go
The flow of you of us two
nothing left of the night and the sight you threw
Shadows on the wall standing tall
and grey as statues not still set in stone
Chipping away to remove home
the last the distance between and unseen
Skipping across still waters been
the smooth edge of forever never spoke
Dawn broke through the crooked slats
to light the last of smouldering air
Swinging on hinges there the creaking
of stepped boards could be heard
Breaking the silence a call of bird
and a breeze washing over cooling sheets
Beneath the sill the busying streets
the dust sticking from the night gone by
Toll of bell and fly of heart
but from the start there was no chance of more
Sliding onto score of beating drums
lost to the memory of luck and chance
Taking a stance and reminded of the dance
as the life of the world once held
Warriors of old broken and felled
by eyes and lies that cut deeper than blade
The question of if stayed what could have been
yet stray is all that survived.

It's a brilliantly written piece, I think I'd interprete it differently to be honest, because the imageries made me fell this one has a complex theme, but the rhythm and ryhme in the last verse was awesome

Thanks. It is a little bit of an experimental piece for me. I might one day look over them all and see what I have created through poetry on the blockchain, as it wasn't until a year or so ago that I started writing it at all. I have not read poetry often myself but I think I understand the attraction in the writing.

I'm a poet, how about looking at mine a bit? I've been writing for 6 years I think time matter

I have read some on steem including yours too But I have never sat down with a book of poetry

Haha sometimes one doesn't need to, the emotion leads and poetry is unique to each and every person and doesn't have rules provided it appeals to the emotion really

What a great write you have here. Thanks for sharing
