A Runner's Mess



Thunder.
Plundering death.
A mess of wonder.
Wet and hungered.
Set in numbers,
Runners.
A blessed gun to rest the comer.
Amongst the set Sun’s a Summer’s slumber.
Alone a hunted hunter hunts a home.
Month to months of roam.
The sun is cold.
Numb and almost froze becomes another foe.
Only hope, and an oath so wonderful,
Holds a swollen soul so clothed.
Close grows home.
Oh.
Oh so slow.
The swollen soul goes broke, with clothes so soaked.
Wet and hungered.
Summer.
A ghost amongst the blessed gun to rest the comer.
The hole.
The thunder.
Plundering death.
A runner.
A ghost.
And yes,
This mess of wonder.

Michael Williams

Pennsylvania, U.S.Rymes all the time. Designed to shine on the lines that unwind, with no lies of no kind, some surprise in design, to rise and to climb, into time and the mind, from sighs to cries, and hi's to goodbyes, from the eyes to the sky, from wise till it dies, it still flies, and it's mine from the mind. Rymes all the time. -M.Eazelksparks87@hotmail.com more…
