AWAY FROM SHADOWFIELDS
For all that died in the Crimean conflict

war, They hide among the trees
cry, The children cry until earth floods With Salt
With Salt & Blood
With Salt & Blood, & shards of broken glass
brother, Stabs brother
slashing, Through skin reaching target
which, Will never beat again
shrieks, Of mothers and wives deafen
until, Ears erupt With Salt
With Salt & Blood
With Salt & Blood, & shards of broken glass
earth, Begs for Death to stop
she, Slowly covers up her children one by one
but, Death beckons to them with glee
she, Softly dances among their empty graves
we, Stand ashore and watching
as, They fall prey to a life Of Salt
Of Salt & Blood
Of Salt & Blood, & shards of broken glass
in, Their private Hell, Liviathan has risen
relentlessly, Descending blows upon intelligence
and, Schizophrenic bliss
this, Is where Purgatory dwells
and i, Stand ashore and watch, near feet
feet, Of bronze and brass And Salt
And Salt & Blood
And Salt & Blood, & shards of broken glass
About the Creator
Maria Parsheva
She had eyes like ocean water, deep sea glass with rugged edges
She had lips as hard as pearls and coral moonlight in her hair
Hi, I'm Maria and I've been writing poetry, stories and books since I was very young. To me writing is breathing.
