Poetry

~~1~~

Down and under

Below black skies

Heavy clouds follow

As though with legs

Clomping the air road

Striving to escape as always try

But…

Down and under

Rain water burns

~~2~~

Down and under

Where light is gloomed

Each step forward

Is found to go backward

Exhale a heavy cry

Who's there to hear

Only…

the voice echoing

The woods to sink down deeper

~~3~~

Down and under

Shoulders shrug down

Sleepy eyes unable to open

Within the four walls

Darkness is glorified

Light becomes the intimate enemy

Only…

Sweet   taste commands the stomach walls

Marriage is made with the fluffy blanket

~~4~~

Down and under

Does not rhyme with shine

Snow cascade from skies to heart

Unable to reason or to smile

Tearful eyes relieve pain

Feelings of worthless invade soul

Now…

Suicidal thoughts take over Grim's  weapon

Deep feet under makes the last move
