Life's Vision Altered (Free verse) by Katzclear
Beautiful big eyes of blues
line with black, exquisite features
Poet at heart, in soul, a muse
Dark writings and drawings of evil creatures
Sense of humor matchless
laughter quite contagious
Smiles completely priceless
youth unending and ageless
Friends of every type
interests all well accounted for
ran around all in hype
One could not have asked for more
Durastic change.
Lips utter barely a word
Sounds hardly heard at all
He thought all spoken was not heard
and at this, his only great downfall
Glittering eyes now grown dull
Laughter silenced by the pain
Life no longer enjoyed in full
Nothing, he thought, was there to gain.
Friends were looked past
as if they were not there.
His joy just did not last
How he thought no body cared.
Rope slung high over thickened bough
Slipped loosely through knotted line
Over the limb his body did he through
Surely he did lose his mind.
Legs flailed above the ground
gurgling coming from deep within the throat
from his body the most horrible sounds
but the area he's in was completely remote
No one heard his final plea
as the last breath escaped into the sky
My good friend lay limp under the tree.
He left me to do nothing, but cry.
