The Tendrils of Life The world beneath this forlorn sky Battered painfully by their ceaseless cries Echoes linger down the abyss Reverberate back to trample Every ignoble souls Their ire won't quell, wrath won't subside Chained in continuous struggles To flee from their miserable lives Chasing happiness that's too swift Too slippery to take a hold Their stares were trenchant darts Piercing every piece of Him Yet He never gave up despite the swears Instead, had set foot on the ground In the land cursed by them He healed every furious soul Quelled their unquenchable ires Soothed and touched the wounds Brought by the fervent whips Of the tendrils of life These tendrils once whipped me like no end Until I bleed and lost my feel This land I found my first breath Fourteen years ago Pushed me to do the worst I feared to step this land of hate That wished for none but my bitter fate They wanted me not, They wanted my absence To get lost and vanish in oblivion Like a nightmare in everyone's sleep Here I am- lost, alone, frightened Everyone hated me, they wanted me... dead  FIRST PLACE WINNER Form: FREE VERSE Prompt:  Image 1 Line Count: 32 lines Written for: "Invalid Item"  and "Dark Dreamscapes Poetry Contest" |
