Red rain...


in a black and white day
puddles of thoughts despair
tip toe passed the sense of guilt
neglect fogs the air
the man in the moon has seen the joke
my reflection is no longer there
my shadow caught a different train
and my soul was unaware
that it was left alone
to bark with the dogs
at another black and white day
so i toss the coin
for another chance
it's tails and i lose again.

Red rain.

I absolutely *love* the line "tip toe passed the sense of guilt" - and if there's a surefire way to do that, maybe one of these days I'll figure it out :) and I hope that you're having a colorful day :) nice poem!

A nice poem: 'my shadow caught a different train' is highly suggestive.

Dear Rik,
The melancholy despair is so palpable in this piece, in your inimitable style!
I especially like these lines:
"puddles of thoughts despair
tip toe passed the sense of guilt
neglect fogs the air"
Love,
Zoya

A contrast beyond compare. How imaginative!

"Red rain In a black and white day" I hope the next time you toss
the coin you will get the head then.

Thought provoking!

i'll bring the balloons for the party ;) lol

such a desolate sadness this picture paints... feels like everything has been lost... it's like the character believes everything is sneering at him and not going anywhere fast, as is the usual in his life from what can be picked up in the words here ("and i lose again") ...

"puddles of thoughts despair
tip toe passed the sense of guilt"

and

"my shadow caught a different train"

i particularly liked for imagery... emotive stuff this one is... nicely done :)

*hugs* xx
