This is an old one written on February 12. It's my first free verse, and I decided to put it up here to see how everybody likes it. Oh, and I noticed how it seems a lot of people are so serious and don't put in little notes...that's the best thing about a lot of poetry! The notes before or the personality in each poem. *Sighs* I guess I'm just odd like that! :D
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Streetlamps shining in puddles
Gives off a florescent glow
Refusing to let
The sanctuary of a darkening night
Penetrate the harsh monstrous
Ever present reflecting shine
That blinds the travelers eyes
And the blinded traveler
Stumbles angrily down the pavement
Listening to the pitter-patter
Of the hard rain
Trying to get the blue dots
Of the remaining streams of light
in his eyes to go away
Yet not succeeding.
And those dots flash
For too long a moment
Destroying his vision
Making him blind of the danger
That lurks in the shadows.
Those people
Hiding behind the dumpsters
And he doesn't see
Till they jump out at him
And all he can do is stumble
Futilely trying to struggle away
But the bullet flashes
Like those dots in his eyes
Making them go away
But turning his vision
To a strangling gray
And then the dots are gone
And he sees he floats
Above his dead body
That he is a spirit
Giving off a beautiful light
Just like the streetlamps
Shining in the puddles.
