Lunch Poem #20 Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

Lunch Poem #20

Rating: 5.0


Oblivion, oblivion, hope of the damned.

Your dark waters lap incessantly at the

shores of life.

Washing, ever eroding, until that day when

the body as stark and white and naked as

it was when it left the depths of your abyss

plunges headlong into your black waves

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Another[ piece of exquisite wordsmithing Jim. Your choice of 'oblivion' being the hope of 'the damned' triggers the mood of the piece, and carries the reader through in the darkness with you. Fay.
