8/17/2016 Three Poems by Carl ScharwathWayfaring City rain breathing Radiation from the storm clouds As tar black feather balls Disguise the avenue. Ghosts in the metropolis Leer from empty buildings Poisonous tomb stones Rising in the shadows Devout of humanity Lifeless and forsaken On what journey The victim returns? ADMONITIO You are the genesis of today The cancers of a desperate heart etched in the loss of hope. Vision doubled, fractured fragments give warning. Blood rushes in a sojourn. Following the Daughters of Zion adorned in self-alienation to a future world, without history. AXIS The passion shall escape While the past, Flickering hungry Is Bleached invisible. You gaze at The unfeigned light. Walking out determined From the world. Knowing how it feels To be broken And have a black hole On your time-line. Bio: Carl Scharwath, has appeared globally with 80+ journals selecting his poetry, short stories, essays or art photography. He won the National Poetry Contest award for Writers One Flight Up. His first poetry book is 'Journey To Become Forgotten' (Kind of a Hurricane Press). Carl is also a dedicated runner. 8/20/2016 06:05:18 am
These are striking poems. I especially like the first, "Wayfaring." Comments are closed.
