Rambling Lands

Rambling Lands

Rambling lands 
Your dust has grazed my eyes so many times 
Forcing tears to sting
To linger on my chapped cheeks 

I speak, yet there is no sound 
It is lost inside your catalyst of cries and moans 
Where the wind goes to die 
And I am nothing more than a bag of bones 
Beneath your forlorn sky

Sadly I didn’t and I so love the moon too. Apparently it was the longest lunar eclipse since 1440 and it was a blood red moon too! It was only partially available in the U.K.

Maybe best read quick methinks, to read it slow might just hurt too much .............. and should she ever need an ear, just be sure to holler x

~ "Where the wind goes to die...".......the depths of this piece drowns the reader with its climb down into the pits of despair through the use of such brilliantly subtle phrasing.....every single line has profundity within it borders ~

                        ~ "I speak, yet there is no sound
                            It is lost inside your catalyst of cries and moans.."

It is in the succinctness of the whole where the foundational strength of this piece is born!! (or at least that is my humble opinion)......PINNED!!.....Oh oh!?....your skills are showing!! (smiles).....Bravo dear poet sister!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo  :  )
