The losing hand

by DarkLight   Apr 18, 2017


We never liked each other,
but yet, considered as brothers
we hailed the sins of our youth
like pain was a memory to sooth.
In the dying days we laughed
and found them not enough,
as long as we clang to that simple joy
like kids do their toys.
Everything was but a reason to see the world
as if for the first time.
Time has no measures, but the limits of a clock hand.
As I say my goodbyes,
may peace find ya'
Tonight we drink
tomorrow we go on to live.

    Such a poetical vision. This verse is poetry from within.

    I totally agree with Ben. So much nostalgia, friends we drink with, friends we leave behind, friends we have lost.

    This poem is full of nostalgia and genuine emotion. A great write and one that I would nominate but I'm out of votes at the moment.

    All the best,

    Ben
