Carbon boy

(and Puppet)

By Kaloriinn MasonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

CARBON BOY:

Shattered glass

tainted brass

A darkened sun

looks down upon

Stained blood

on a tainted cross

crucified

the carbon boy

a broken star lays

like a hollow tree

inside

an empty void

collecting the pain

everyday is the same

only alive in the rain

alone alone

never seeking riches

or fame

buried so deep

hidden from you

epsilon

kept from view

here is where it cries

there is where

it slowly dies

can no one save the sundered heart

as the winds blow

its ashes away

will not one ray

of hope be played

Kaloriinn,James. Mason

PUPPET:

dead puppet

corpse culprit

covet

death, life, love

forbidden

from below and above

silent pretender

dead ender

alone

broken

world of promises

atone

emptiness

should have shone

apologies

for this hollow existence

always out of distance

a horizon unseen

on a tear built dream

reality as it seen

cut the heartstrings

as the seam

dead poet surrender

loneliness forever

eternal the bond

now broken

only I see the truth

what I am

I walk the road

forsaken

tossed away plaything

Kaloriinn, James. Mason

sad poetry
