A life was lived
A life was stolen
Betrayal runs deep.
Darkness. Still and sweet darkness.
There was no past. There was no present. Future? Perhaps.
The coppery taste of blood. Whose did not matter.
Life goes on, it grows on.
Time passes.
The earth feeds.
A skeletal hand plunges through layers of soil the arm is soon to follow.
Dirt tearing nails from dangling flesh, flesh falling soon after.
The abrasive soil claiming what is hers to keep. Sharing in kind.
Years pass.
Seasons change.
The slow path to immortality.
Lo stands a figure, sans the man.
Life in death entwined.
Time passes. Life goes on. If not the life of the man.
I promised my sister Thisismylife that I would enter this contest with her.
Life has been so busy that I had not had time to create, research, or even give thought.
This was written off the seat of my pants and it is nothing the way I envisioned it. Gotta love the way literature writes itself

This is my entry in Wen-M 's 2nd contest thing thankyou for reading

Hmmm.... poetry.... not my strongest point... I actually hate poetry... but oh well.

For someone who hates poetry, I liked this. =) (Well, sort of.)

There's a general tone here that can be detected.... but it's still a bit lacking. Since I have NO (very little) experience in poetry, I can't help you... but these tutorials might. =)
