Earthquakes

Earthquakes

I've shattered hourglasses that I know I shouldn't have

Hiding from a planet of black ice covered paths

And so far all I have are blank diaries and empty poetry

So today I will bring and end to this sad story

In my lifeless garden I have been for so very long

Letting myself waste away watching the setting sun 

But today I bid farewell to my imaginary reality

To embrace this place of evil sorcery

Fear was the red tide surging through my veins

Everyday I would just watch time tick away

But now I realize I should be trying to enjoy life

For nobody knows when the continents will collide

In my lifeless garden I have been for so very long

Letting myself waste away watching the setting sun

But today I bid farewell to my imaginary reality

To embrace this place of evil sorcery

Paradise is but a phantom providing a false sense of euphoria

And time is deadly nightshade killing even the youngest beluga

In my lifeless garden I have been for so very long

Letting myself waste away watching the setting sun

But today I bid farewell to my imaginary reality

To embrace this place of evil sorcery

I must let my fear be washed away

For a chance to run my fingertips through the Milky Way

Whoo hoo good one! I like how you make the last two lines the darkest which created the impression that at the end you came away with confidence. Also I always like the symbolism you do with the colors ^_^

LOL I can't lie, I didn't really understand what it was talking about exactly but I really enjoyed reading it. The rhyming was good and I had fun with it :)

Thanks for being honest! The poem's meant to be about anything you want it to be about. I had fun writing it!

If this means the thoughts of the earthquake before it erupts, then I like it very much. I lived for a while where the San Madrid Fault is and had the house move and glass shatter too many times for comfort. Valentine
