another untitled poem

The clouds follow you

Dripping gray with doubt

The lion stands by your side

Proud and gold

Her mane reflects rays

On to your shadows

We pick at you, the rotting fruit

Only hoping you can grow

You’ve been sold the wrong soul

And I pray to the earth as my lashes wax the uncut lawn

Because crosses don’t comfort me

  1. Great imagery of a person being followed by the gray clouds, if you think about it enough it almost seems as if clouds follow you whereever you go. The imagery of picking at the rotted fruit is great too. Your last two lines are phenominal, your lashes to the uncut lawn and crosses not comforting you.
