Another no rhymey type poem.
Dusk
The changing seasons refresh my love. As new life, or death, is breathed into the earth,
I'm reminded of how fragile and sacred life is, and I am glad of it.
I love you more than man loves money.
We belong together like the ailing october leaves and the wind.
I feel it in my soul.
But you embrace me as the darkness embraces the morning light.
Shyingly, always at a near-retreating distance.
As though I am a sort of filth that brings plague to your purity.
Yet it's not you that wilts, but I.
My browning soul finally turned black.
What will I do with my newfound desolation.
Will I wander in search of new love?
Will I tread the ever poetic soil of foreign lands?
Or will I sell my hate as a mercenary,
fighting, killing for even darker souls still?
To receive something, you must relinquish something of equal value.
Yet the price I have paid is of far greater value to me than what I have received.
Far greater value than my own freedom, my own life.
So standing here now, staring at my plate, full of opportunities,
I turn away hungry, without appetite for what now seems meaningless.
Existing, what have I to die for?
Who have I to live for?
Wherein these pages can you show me a happy ending?
My identity lost, I fear I've become too many things,
and in doing so, I've become nothing.
All I feel is hatred and sorrow.
What of the fairy tales now?
The knight's armor has lost its sheen,
Yet who is to save him?
Who would save him, after all that he has destroyed...

this is such a gordgeous poem. you are a wonderful poet, I've read more of your work and I love it. lol you've also helped me with one or two of my poems. ^^ I haven't been so into a poem in a long long time. I had to read it over and over and over, I couldn't get enough. with the small amount of vocabulary this world has to offer, I can't fully describe how I feel about this poem.
