My humble heart's confines

poetry contest entry

You're the one
Who has brought me insufferable pain
My soul is not kindled
And I have nothing left to gain
I am an empty vessel
With no wings of rhyme
I am the clock
With no sense of time
You are the doomed temple
Of the night sky
Within your waiting arms
I am sure to die
But with the ancient death portals
Comes the rush of peace
A ray of hope
For the deceased
