Fallen

This is all I asked for,
This is all I'll take
Gifts from the heavens,
I'll bring with me tp hell
Collect my rotten baggage,
And carry it on my back.
This is what I offer you
All I have to give.
The project stairwells,
The alleyways,
The squats, the stoops
Everywhere I shaved off
Another layer of skin
Lose my frragile purchase,
My tender grip
On all I have lef t,
Of wholeness,
Of sanity.
Beauty,after all
Is in the eye of the beholder
But Ive kept my eyes glued shut
And I can't find that which is
Most precious.

Are you new to poetry???? This is really good!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
