RE-POST – Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 146 #SynonymsOnly
This week the words Colleen chose, are : FALL and GIVE
and Anita has written a lovely double etheree…
I
Slip by
Shadows, dream
I slide, stumble
I cannot afford
To end this dream, death waits
I need someone to assist
To make sure that I am woken
Before I tumble into black wings
I hear no alarm bell, no voice calling
My name is silent, no one to wake me
I feel the soft velvet touch of death
Inky darkness carries my mind
Would someone bestow some light
Provide me a way out
Call back my foolish
thought of leaving
I want to
keep my
Life.
