I am here
Rain keeps falling from the tall, dark sky.
Sorry puddles grow larger, my blackened heart.
Water soaking through my flimsy keds, numbing.
Recall of whiskey soothes the soul,
empty grimace suspended on the face.
The wind blows and whispers, "Alive..."
Shaking off the shivers, I look upward,
look at some stars,
shining through the corpses of the clouds.
Meantime, man is prowling in the background
Inside warm shelters of his skyscrapers.
Padded walls,
rooms illuminated by azure television lights.
In his little capsule world, he knows little...
People pass by but I'm alone.
I care not for the future or the bitter past.
And I notice,
Were all doing the same thing...
Sorry puddles grow larger, my blackened heart.
Water soaking through my flimsy keds, numbing.

shining through the corpses of the clouds.

Inside warm shelters of his skyscrapers.

rooms illuminated by azure television lights.
In his little capsule world, he knows little...
People pass by but I'm alone.
I care not for the future or the bitter past.
And I notice,

" through the corpses of the clouds " <<<<<------interesting set of words
and the final stanza i have to disagree with we're all doing the same thing
because while i agree with You - we're all going the same way
there are many paths to the top
each of us must choose our own way alone
it is our Tao to live and plot
I do, however, love the philosophical aspect to this spill,
Hence, the themes i've added here

Oh, the themes are nice!
Well, after a while, it's all the same, no matter what we do. But that's just my world view.
Thank you for reading and everything :3
