The haze I see (Day 88 of 100 -- Poetry challenge)

in poetry •  6 years ago

There is a shadow and it’s all I see,
your darkened steps
are all that’s left.

A sooty film,

  a smokey haze,
a blaze
 from your fiery gaze.

A burnt-out hole
in the ground
where you laid
your burden
 down.

A bloody mess
for the world to see
because you could not hear
my words over the sound of your gun
   shooting rounds at me.

you are scorched breath,
 darkened steps,
and you are the shadow
that came between
  you
and  we.

Very good poetry
I like to read poetry. Poetry is a random word that contains meaning. Portraits of human life look beautiful when made in a poem.
Thank you @mamadini

Thank you. I have note really dug much into MINDS yet, aside from posting stuff from here. I LOVE ModWiz, he's tribe. ;)
I am so happy to follow you here and am glad you said something so I could see and know that you are out there (in the steemit world).
