Perpetuality Poem by Smoky Hoss

Perpetuality

Rating: 5.0


I'm standing next to the sun
a million stars in my hand,
there's a man on a mountain
trying to make others understand-
he's got lightning in his eyes
and thunder in his voice,
he's asking all the people
to make a choice-
they laugh, dance
and sing;
but the sun has burnt my ears,
I can't hear a thing-
the days go slow...
one by one,
the sky burning
is never done-
I cast the million stars
out, upon the naked sea,
while in a blue flame I wait
for their return home to me-
but home they never understood
and did never know,
like the dying days of humanity
they have no where else to go-
they'll ride stormy waves
on an endless ocean of blue,
of whose great, watery depths
they haven't even a clue-
the stars will fall
the sun will fade,
but forever shall I remain
for love can never be held in such a grave-

The sky burning is never done- genius line! I cast the million stars out, upon the naked sea, while in a blue flame I wait for their return home to me- lyric music to the ears. Your poem is so touchable and present, but includes immensity inside it too.
