Poetry: Falling Off
Falling Off
===================
Sometimes falling off
The face of the Earth isn’t so bad —
Sometimes it’s enough
To make me appreciate what I’ve had.
My selfish ways
Bark out displeasure, less reason,
To entice the haunted soul
From self treason.
Only the night
Issues it’s hollow understanding
To which even happiness
Seems too demanding.
Yet to fabricate reality
Within the vast boundaries of life —
Praying blindly for you;
Silence, queen of the night.

Queen of the night, eh? You stole that from me! lol it’s alright, cuz I stole it from a song, but I figured I’d give you crap for it. Anyhow, I really liked this, spoke to me, especially the second to last verse. Always, Sara

“To entice the haunted soul” I love that. You’ve got such a way with words. It’s been awhile since you’ve written 😀 Thanks again for sharing. But there is threat news 😛 There is a guy named TroixDaddy here on OD that is stealing people’s poetry. I thought you might want to know just in case you wanted to set your poems on ‘Favorites Only’. *hug* Carpe Diem 😀
