heavy is the crown

a drop of black rippled into a sea of red

flowing into the waves of blue that spirals

into shades of silver

that drips down heavy on the crown of gold

heavy it holds

pressing deep like fingerprints into fresh clay

piercing into rough skin

struggling to breath in

keep in the air in my lungs

as my shoulders start to sink i shrug

what would life behold if not a challenge

still i am left hollowed by words

emptier than the dried up lake

my fingers start to shake until i drop everything to the ground

and it shatters and creates a reverberating sound

sad poetry
