yin & yang

"Tell me pretty things,” she says

Over the piercing shrills of terror

Towering over flesh

A force of dust and darkness

Lay softly on her shoulders

Intimate with the lack of future

Today is the end

Yield all hope

"We shall carry on in spirit," as yin and yang collide

Immersed in darkness

Time moves slow as the sun gets swallowed --

Hole – bury me instead

I didn’t think we’d make it this far anyway, my love”

No eclipse can keep us apart.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
