Untitled XIV
Eyelids are heavy, drowning
in fatigue, unrelenting.
Time ticks slowly into
darker depths of evening
fire, wrapped around
wispy fibers stretching
out through atmosphere
and filament.
No escape from flickering
light still pushing shoulders
above a dying sky.
Transitional mood settles
itself within vibrational being,
veins burning hot under
oak sway, sodden earth
consuming fragile eyes.

Dear E,
The first stanza describes perfectly how I look trying to write these poems every day! And it all starts out so promising. Fifteen minutes into the process I want to set fire to the computer!
Your poem, however, is actual poetry.
I bow down in admiration. H🌷

Wonderfully captured, Eerie. And cozy while reading it. Most the times, I like being soothed from a read. This works well for that.

The sentiment along with the words seem to jump out of the page (or screen).
Great work.
Great work.
