Desolate Grounds I Walk- Fallen Empires and Fallen Sons

by mikaelyn

The whistle is faint, only a buzz, if a midsummer bee Hot beats the sun upon an untamed forearm, exhale salt and pollute the air Does no sparkle exist behind those blue irises? Nowhere to be optimistic? An unkempt mane rolls in waves like a history lesson And forward pointing toes see no direction Crippled stone gives way to broken souls, destroyed in a fit of revenge Their beautiful bloom now only a weed- Pull from the clay and expose its roots Blood stained hands caress wandering eyes, forcefully stitched open Choke on remorse, and cut from your mouth a guilty tongue A gift given, now an act of the Devil...... a misused talent Silence the screams, a thousand grievous hearts spit hatred One being, lost in shadow, a unnoticed blade Can the world now continue, purged of a merciless man? Shall the repetitious cycle begin again? Summon themselves a king, for he is surely more suitable
