Dark Summer




Dark Summer


My senses numb
as blistering rays
seep through my skin
cold as ice
stinging my heart.

In limbo I reside
where tears
are my comfort
releasing the pain
like brilliant stars

lighting the darkness.

This is an awesome work of art. I like the verses.
Beautiful words, Jo! You didn't have to say much, but I can feel it..

rainfield, really is it just during Summer or all year long?

Jena, Thank you very much.

Icy, Aw, thank you.

Good poem. I pictured a cartoon of someone crying in all directions, and the tears reflecting the surrounding light.

Ratty, You have an incredible imagination :)

Joanne,

I pictured more of a reflection on moments missed. Maybe even on hurts that were wronged, but whomever chose to correct them their way.
Very nice work, well written!
