TWILIGHTS DOOR

I cast down iron eyes
at the soft silhouette of the shore
full moon amongst the sand dunes
and I weep once more
beauty in the darkness
oh stars I do adore
shimmering lights making way
through twilight's door
hands that have been
of hardened skin
can not grasp the floor beneath
words to spit through wretched teeth
praying lines of final release
my body sits in earthly decay
and wait for the waves to wash me away

I like the photo and the words. I had many nights with the sea and my thoughts. Description took me back in time. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

This is washed in melancholia. The words build a strong piece of work.
Excellente!

The feel is subtle yet takes over in a very powerful way. Excellent work.

Sometimes its hard to find beauty ever day in a life filled with turmoil. And time can be our friend, or enemy. Lovely piece, Rene.

I love this Rene...Nicely done from top to bottom. Some days I feel like I'm just doing time waiting for the outbound flight. Emotionally this takes me there but the beauty of the images make me want to stay a bit longer...

I love a thought provoking finish.
