Earth

Just a little free-verse poem, written in about 10 minutes to practice non-rhyming poetry.

A silver spider

Spins a web of lies

And catches truth.

Tangled in silk

Asphyxiated by coils

Of dusty delusions

And half-formed words

From frozen tongues.

 

A drowning Sun

Melts in an ocean sky

Riddled with disease.

Cancer of the air,

An aluminium glow

From choking smoke

Formed from afar,

From within itself.

 

Waves rise and fall

A chain of breaths

Soft and easy,

Like loving a child.

Dusky jewels

Pearls of the sea

Wash ashore in the tides

A gift, a plea.

 

Delicious warmth

Bathed in harsh ice

Our emotions are fake.

Concrete on steel,

Warnings in crimson,

Our eyes are veiled.

Tears in the snow,

Our emotions are lies.
