Your Reign Falls.

[paintedfish]

Flies crawling through your hair

Limbs disappearing into the air

Following all your paranoid

Catechisms, slipping through the void.

 

Body's humming with things gone

The figurative dropping of the bombs

Strained eyes searching through the haze

Hiding light and darker days.

 

Lying, covered in the corner

Why didn't anyone warn her?

The ground is smoldering, scenery is maimed

Destruction will never want to change.

 

And all your skin's stretched static and tight,

The little one's screaming, trapped inside.

My first attempt at rhyming.

[pinkrobot]

First attempt at rhyming? Not bad at all!

 

I only like rhyming poems when they don't use really commonly rhymed words (like "sad" and "mad" or "day" and "way") and you did a great job with the wording of this poem.
