Time stood still

Across stale waters and

trembling seas

From brittle coasts and

climbing beasts

Through darkness and the

rivers wind

Implored throughout the

wane of time

No one is here to watch

them fall

No one is here, no one

at all

 

Emptied clouds and sordent rains

Buried cities with rusted chains

While the moon shines harsh and high

With broken hearts and thundered skies

Across the deserted lands of woe

within the caves with no echoes

 

No one is here, No one at all

No one was here to watch them fall

 

And so blood dries and

buildings fall

No one was here

No one at all

A dark poem!

I could relate it to the disasters that were expected on the super moon day.

"Emptied clouds and sordent rains
Buried cities with rusted chains
While the moon shines harsh and high
With broken hearts and thundered skies"

Beautiful write. Thanks for sharing.

This is very much like something I'd write, I can't help but to love it... strange that writing about desolation and stark abandon can be so magnetic in the delivery... a truly entrancing piece of writing...

Kind of dark and desolate

[Norma M Sutton]

I like the imagery used in this poem. Very nice.

Oh I love this I would use the first part as the entire poem

[Kelsie Eileen Stark]

Reading this made feel like I was actually in the 'dead city'. You make this feel alive. Great job!

I have been to dead cities. The feeling of old bad deeds can still be felt in the air. Poem is like a whisper of the coming future. I like the complete poem. The ending lines made the poem complete. A excellent poem.

Time stood still as I read this. You wrote it like a poet of old.
