Bathing Blackbirds
ArianLlwyn
Feb 2021
Bathing Blackbirds
Great old Black birds bathe beneath blacker storms,
Songs free, flee the clatter,
Raindrops dance till they shatter,
Sad none of this will matter.

Facade

Apr 2020
Facade
Deceptive is that shared eye in the mirror.
In truth, it cannot scry,
The loneliness in my sigh,
Nor my wholly hollow lie.

Golden Gaze

Golden Gaze
The world's small eyes bare down like heavy gold,
On whomsoever seeks their glazed dim gaze.
My second attempt at a couplet in iambic pentameter.

Hills of night

Hills of night
They say the sun shines bright
Beyond the hills of night.
Perhaps one day I might
See this beautiful light.
For now my days are dark
My dreams are nightmares wrought.

Past Pride

Past Pride
Click, tick, click, tock, the old clock's hand is wrought.
Iydll, we are as dammed,
And Time will not seem as grand
When there's no one left to stand.

Plea
ArianLlwyn
Jun 2020
Plea
It’s suffocating
These things you’ve long yearned for me,
Please just let me breathe,
Listen to my somber plea,
Please, I just want to be me.
My first attempt at Tanka poetry

River run
I run in the river, I'm lost, I run.
Watching While rocks roll past my feet, I'm done.
My first attempt at a couplet with lambic pentameter

Sharp Words

Sharp Words
That guy, that boy, that man.
The words roll round my head,
Like a big bingo cage,
Full of thin razor blades.

Smiling nights

Mar 2021
Smiling nights
A concoction of terror and delight
Dispels my dimming light,
As I fail to fight my fright
Subsumed by the smiling night.

The Wall
ArianLlwyn
Apr 2020
The Wall
A barricade, a blockade, bars my path.
“Perhaps I’m lost,” I sigh,
Trying in vain not to cry.
I yield and watch time slip by.
An attempt at the welsh englyn style (englyn unodl union if you're curious) in English.

World's Sand

World's Sand
Once I dreamt of a world so grand,
I reached to hold it in my hand,
But it fell away like pale sand.
