Delicate in Poetry & Free Verse

fire, sound, beast

Time fights back, with a horribly strong hand

and there are not enough sounds to stop it

The heavy weight of achieving a simple life, came crushing like fate

the smoke in the roof is increasing

people watching with so much interest, spectators

watching the burning house and the burning houses and the burning trees.

Lost the gifts to the flames and fever

the sweet sound of music filled the smoky fields

and people kept watching, but at least they listened too

the perfect time to grab what was left and just go away

live a little, dream some more, hate a few people and love a few more.

So many beasts came running

It was possible to smell the fear and the smoke and the killing intent

Never backing down, in the middle of confusion

people could not stop staring, their eyes watering

Please don’t go, we need you now, never go we need you now, we hate you now.
