Wolves of Your Time

[Altawell]

................

Complex as you are
But
Simple
When you try….
One moment alive
Then
The next
Dying with
No cry….
Life and death were
Your
‘Circle’….
Time and time
Always
You ‘come’ back
Almost
Just
On time….


But
Not
This time!


Your hat
Your books
Your glasses
Your mat
Left as a sign of
Who you were
In a dark corner
In your barricaded
Deserted
Top
Flat….


Cry no more….
Your dusty desk
Your dusty mirror
Your dusty curtains
Closed the chapter
When the wolves
Of your time
Ended your story
In a moonless
Silent
Night….

wow - this is really thought provoking. Are you taling about a suicide or some other cause of death? Great work. It's not often a piece makesme sit and think for more than a few moments.

Hi Jady,

Thank you for writing and for the nice words - and good to hear from you :)

The person in question in this poem his ‘physical death’ was speeded up by those who did not understand him, as he was far beyond his time when it come to his ideas and approach to life and religion. He did not commit suicide; he simply passed away of his own will.

Glad to know that you liked the poem

wow really nice but i think you could have hinted a bit more that his death was sped up by no one understanding him because thats a really great idea and it need to be shown, great piece btw =]

Hi moonflower,

Thank you for the message and great to hear from you!

It is good to know that this poem is providing this kind of comments - the poem itself, as mentioned in a previous message, reflected an actual scene!

Hi xmartinx,

Thank you for writing and for your comments - happy to hear from you again

That is true and I would have added what you said, however, the words of the poem came to me instantly, as I looked at the place. For this reason, I published the words as they were -at that time- rather than adding to them addtional words later on at different time and different place!

great , i use words in my poems that i think of straight away other than puting them down and re visiting thwemn later. i think if it comes from the heart/mind/soul then they should not be edited at all. it ruins the purity. therefore, i salute you x
