EMPTY CITIES, EMPTY FUTURES



Slowly, the soft light
begins to disappear.
Somewhere beyond
the horizon so far, yet
the future does not wait.

Alone, yet fearless, journeying forth into
the shadows of something long forgotten.

Somewhere along the way,
I’ll find you standing there
The soft light engulfing us
shining brightly,
like never before

Still, I feel so alone, yet, I know,
that you’ll come and find me

To the cities, long emptied
among the abandoned streets
I know, you’ll find me

Slowly, the soft light
begins to disappear.
Somewhere beyond
the horizon so far, yet
the future does not wait.

The sky trembles underneath the tears
that falls onto the land, forever creating
and recreating the puddles of our sorrows.

But the shining sun of the new day,
the new era, brings hope and peace.
To the place where I'll be, waiting,
endlessly for your calling voice,
and your vibrant smiling face...

I guess these could be lyrics or a poem too.

Not really sure where I was going with this one.

Please some feedback, if you can. It will be highly welcomed. Very Happy

I really like how the second last stanza is a repetition of the first -- I tend to do that myself. The stanza itself is very eloquent, though simple, it still is very pretty. The words just seem to fit.

I have a bit of an issue with the last bit:

So, come on, alright?
I’ll be waiting there.


The so come on, alright? seems a little out of place for me. The entire poem seems to be reminiscient, you know, the soft beckoning tone, and then that last bit sort of just... changes it all. Too abruptly without much hint at it throughout.

O.o

Well, that wasn't there before.... I'm not sure why it's there to tell you the truth. XD

But, yes, what you say is the flat out truth. I'll change it to something better, right now.

*goes off to do it* There. Is that better?
