Spark

And so the shadows loom
wearing the burden of the day
The cold soil of an open grave
smears the warm sunlight of yesterday

Long, lost hours
I'll wait for the sky to fade away
I'm waiting for that spark
so I can create something beautiful

Wearing pieces of a tragic love
Suppose the heart was made to be broken
If you can't hang it in black
then what you felt meant nothing at all

Long, lost hours
I'll wait for the moon to crack
I'm waiting for that spark
so I can colour my memories

What is fortune, really?
I haven't been able to buy
something to make me feel
any kind of worth

Long, lost years
Still waiting for tomorrow
I'm living in that spark
because it keeps me alive

Thank you for this Elliot a joy!!! For reasons that I can't understannd it made me thing of "wating for the night to fall" by depeche mode and the serenity- tranquil. So vivid though those moments where you wish something would come and help you to get out of that "barren land" that you are inmersed and fuel creativity. And yet at times the recognition that we might not be able to see what right infront of us...
Really thoughtfull.

Thanks again Elliot.

This poem I hold dear to my heart. I feel this way a lot. There are times when I feel like the emotions are killing me inside and I am waiting for that spark to keep me going. Wonderful work, as always :)

Your poems legit always paint a picture in my mind I love it.

[Leo M. Zeac]

This is a really nice poem, I love the tone I'm picking up from it. The mysterious themes you convey with your words matches your subtle hints to heartbreak and, what I am picking up, funerals. All in all, I enjoyed your poem immensely and hope you keep on writing!
