Among The Leaves
That day I saw her body
laying dead among some leaves
so weird to see this woman
who looks a lot like me.
I closed my eyes then rubbed them
I was sure this wasn't real
I then reached out to touch her
her pain has never healed.
I saw into her anguished eyes
she wanted me to see,
the brutal way he took her life
right there in front of me.
I heard the cold wind moaning
as I fell upon those leaves,
I had fallen down beside her
screaming bizarre obscenities.
~~~~~~
A quiet man he stumbles
then gets back up on his feet
he begins his daily walk
down a crowded lonely street
Clad in his broken work boots
and a pair of filthy jeans
a smelly shirt, a dusty hat
he conjures endlessly
He thinks about the day ahead
and the task he must complete,
he knows that time is running out
he must remain discreet
~~~~~
On the ground I backed away
I did not want to know,
where this woman came from
but knew I had to go
I saw him from a distance
but approaching nonetheless,
I had to leave just disappear
I knew I could be next
that man he did not see me
hidden behind a hallowed tree,
he hurried through some mossy grass
then upon those
So there he was
and there I stood,
I went insane
he knew I would
out came my gun
one to his head,
then two more shots
now she lays dead
If I wasn't there to see it
I would never have believed,
he knew right where to find me

A simply story of revenge, but told in a way I haven't see before.

Yeah, I remember thinking about the concept of looking through a dream state sort of thing and then left it alone and never really wrote anything about it.
Then I started writing on Dup back in 2012 in October, and was able to get it on paper for the most part... Enjoying your continued support on this our poetic journey as friends and fellow writers..
Love peace and soul

Hello N8ty,
I'm so sure anymore it is quite obscure ay?
I think it's about reflection
but then I think it's about reincarnation.
Thank for the read!
