After The Storm
silent cotton clouds...coated in mud
drifting..upon the brooding grey sky
words rained down like solid stones
twilight window...bringing me a sigh
fire loses soft glow....as it burns low
shadows on the wall..stay the same
quiet music drives sad ghosts away
dispelling night..as its melody came
but:
memory calls..with unwanted sights
like gifts from people I cannot return
silvery coins..tossed in my dixie cup
one for each wish
a dreamer
Read the rest of the poem Show less
yearns
as tired eyes close
ghostly sounds play
from a gypsy violin
only heard on sad
days

on After The Storm from @Rosewood Apothecary
"Nice job with the rhyme and rhythm. It’s an ethereal riddle. Is it literally a storm or a dream or is it that haze of oncoming sleep. A fledgling dream perhaps. I see what you’re saying about the ellipses, I suppose I’l…" -

on An Empty Glass from @Lavender
"Hello! Feels very much like a dream, or daydream. I agree, the second stanza is remarkable visually and in its language - "...counting vanished scenes like sheep." Mysterious and dark. Thank you, Lavender" -

"Astounding piece of writing. Almost psychedelic in nature. That second stanza set the hooks and I was just swiftly reeled in. Tim" -

"Everyone seems to have enjoyed it as much as I. Always glad to have another rhymer. I like the flow. You’ve got a good grasp for timing and meter however (please don’t take offense), I’d lose all the ellipses. Usually t…" -
