The Web Poetry Corner - Daniel Bradbury - Startle Wake
Startle Wake
by
Daniel Bradbury
All the rules have been bent
The niceties spent
Living a life like mine
Can lay a touch on the soul
Maybe I’m just dreaming to dust
Drying my soul out while waiting on dreams
So, I don’t have a real place to fill
I don’t even know what I’m still out here for
It’s hard to see over all these hills
And I know that not every road leads to you anymore
You’re the only mumbles I’ve ever heard
I’ll tear you down
Your haze is the firmest base I’ve ever had
My ear drums burst
The blue chords wrap up all around me
You’ve withstood blame
In the city’s sleep
Little shards are still in my eyes
Kiss them clean and heal with time
Don’t you believe in fate?
Or am I too weak and too late
To see what happens to change
when it’s on it’s path to you?
You’re the only mumbles I’ve ever heard
I’ll tear you down, given the word
To build you up more gloriously than before
NEXT?
Why don't you look at
