When darkness takes hold,
My life slowly unfolds,
From the blackest skies,
I cry out, asking why?
My blood flows like tears,
Washing away the fear,
With ink etched arms,
A life told in scars,
Each time that I fall,
I become unmoored,
Like a ship adrift at sea,
I’m lost trying to find me.
Inspired by the daily prompt: Unmoored.

Ooo this is beautiful! I think I say this on all my comments on your poetry…but those last two lines! You have a gift for concluding poems with haunting final lines that stay with readers long after they’ve finished reading (I mean, you have a gift for poetry, but also a gift for writing ‘last two lines’ too – I have a major issue when it comes to concluding poems) Great piece!

Thank you and lol at ‘beautiful’ think that falls under the list of words that are rarely if ever used on this blog!😂
Wouldn’t say that I have a gift, it’s just simple rhyming stuff but I try to write with meaning and finish with emotion.

Good poem, Drew! Love a good few rhyming couplets. Still waiting for the day you inject a bit of happiness into them 😉

Ah, rhyming, that is all that I am capable of poetry wise but I like it. As for happiness, wrong blog, wrong blog!

There’s poems bursting with kittens and smiles lurking beneath that ink-covered exterior. Rhyming is all I can manage as well. Non-rhyming just looks like badly formatted micro-fiction to me.

Drew I love your poetry! I apologize for not commenting on it much any more, but I seem to struggle to find appropriate words. Great stuff!

Thank you and no worries. Poetry is hard to comment on great poem, very emotional, etc all sounds the same so I didn’t think anything of it as I struggle myself to know what to say on certain posts which is mainly why I’m a lurker and not much of a commenter.
