Gloomstones Vol 3 part 4

Poetry is to express emotions with words,
If these words are as if stones, Which I’ll call Gloomstone,
Then I’d be piling them up like a rough wall around a graveyard,
Not keeping out, not keeping in, just a line,
A method to define what is within.

Here’s a little poem that was my response to a Challenge.

Visionless

There is no song for me to sing,
As I’m sitting amid the night,
There aren’t visions of love to bring,
There is no one with in my sight.

Pondering my sorry being,
I can not hold my spirit tight,
Wondering why it is fleeing
I can not help but feel it’s flight.

A lead body won’t be flying,
Won’t go to places cheerful bright,
Deep eyes of red and blue crying,
Only comfort is dark of night;
There are no visions of seeing.

Another Visions poem, this time in the form of the
Cinquain-Crapsey Round called: Enhanced Imaging

Vision,
Like watching night,
From twilight to sun’s rise,
Lies of reality’s darkness;
Changing.

Changing,
Like day break tide,
What has gone out returns,
Flotsam reexamined brightness;
On sand.

On sand,
I’ve watched all night,
From twilight to sun’s rise,
To find the final piece of you,
Hidden.

Hidden
Rocks beyond tides,
Wrecking before returns,
Letting go with pieces too few;
Breaking.

Breaking,
Waves on sand rides,
Rushing to bare feet that turns,
Nothing seen in clear of brightness;
Vision.

Something from the old?

Changing Times

Verges, valley cresting times,
Back looking,
Urges, spirit testing rhymes.

I’m Tempted,
To look back at days gone by,
To think good,
Like I should,
Still it twists into a cry,
Black looking.

I’m tempted,
To just look forward and see,
More of rain,
More of pain,
More of the same just for me.

Changing times?
