STRANGER PLACES (An Original Poetry)
IMAGE SOURCE_DELLA & Mazda 🗻 Stranger Places 💀
Clasped, hands in supplications
confined in our trepidations
the heart is encapsulated in misery
soul, chirping in torments
we are soldiers lost in the moor
blinking the eyes to see beyond the blur
writhing in soot and ash
waiting and waiting for the arrival
of man's greatest afflictions
We're encumbered,
sondering into mental perplexities
freedom lives in the imaginations
but the body is bound with limitations
free to roam freely like a fawn
we're sojourner on surreal roads
waiting for the fever of the furious tide
to subside and sweetly dance around
but agony has been served like ale
so we swim like sailors in the gale
Beyond the archer's aim
over the dazzling view of the mountains
our lives in fumes, burning to char
dreams and aspirations in flames
conflagration ontop our beautiful smiles
like strawberries trampled by horses
tomorrow is pregnant with grief
and today's hatched bloody wars
we're uncertain of the life we live
waiting for the cockerels at dawn.
There's blood on our blade
from infants without transgressions
slain from the fury of vengeful men
our heart tainted with guilt
the world is a virtual reality
full of fictitious fallacies
tales from lips of painful hearts
we live only in death to smile again
awaiting the vulture's arrivals

I missed this! The imagery is fantastic, bud. It's like you pushed me into a rabbit hole and I don't ever want to make my way out. The story you weaved here is spectacular and this is surely one I would never get tired of reading over and over.
Hahahaha well the realities of life in one poem, I sometimes enjoy writing about the harsh realities that comes with life.
I'm sorry that I'm definitely replying late really, I'm so grateful for all your feedback, I feel like you turn my poems inside out and give them worthwhile analysis and it feels so awesome to be frank, I'd be hoping to have you fully here soon
That is really wonderful poetry,
Have a good day my friend
