![]() A Footprint In WaterA Poem by Marvin Lewis Jr.A footprint in water
I’m lost... Stranded somewhere between death and laughter, above suspicion but blood is cradled in my palms. Maybe I am a killer or are these tears coming from my hands? I am a wick without a candle a hopeless man or a beach devoid of sand a star as if there were no black sky, a face with a mind that hates the mirror. Dreams fade into the unknown as sunsets and like eyes wiped after tears nightmares only get clearer, are any prayers answered for the beginner? I wish GOD would just cry on me because the sky is on fire, the ground I walk on is as stable as the ocean so I drown in a sidewalk, while flames engulf my mind it isn’t fair because at the time it was handcuffed. I’m lonely... I want to jump from a skyscraper to touch a dream before I leap into what looks like opened arms, sadness has turned me into a child that’s afraid of the dark who’s only prayer is “hold me GOD”, my eyes only taste sour obscurity show me love. Feed me trust for my soul is scared with an empty stomach I run with stars read my notebooks and you’ll understand what I’ve become... I didn’t know being stranded could be so lucrative, still I wish I knew who I was.
