soemeoensn TO RANT TOOOOK imma start dumping poems alr (life series themed)
martyn, lim life.
A crown of coral greets thee,
thine sin being of wrath
and gluttony
You swallow the seconds like a starved madman
and your sounds of glee only grow more wretched.
For living
for persevering
for having human spirit-
that is your crime
an unforgivable offence.
Your eyes are glossy with the past
Your hands marred with blood of the future-
which part of you stands in the present?
hehe!
Jimmmyyyy
You carry me down to the mine
to the caves and dark
lest the air snuff you out
But see- my wings aren't built to fold and never fly
My feathers are yellow like the sun i never see
and when I choke on cobwebs and dust
forgotten bones and rotten memories
you leave my body there,
a warning to those who come next
and a reminder of what once was.
But I were to leave
I'd soar through the air,
trade your life for mine.
My songs wouldn't stop,
and I wouldn't mind if your chest stopped while mine glinted in sunlight.
Yet the life of a canary is not so gifted-
as I will be caught again
and I will still say goodbye
to cloudless skies
as gaping dark swallows me whole
that's all I got for now :3
holy shit, I'm gen up speechless, I've always admired people who write poetry and this is genuinely amazing imo
