I don't think I've actually posted a poem in here. If I have, it's been years :P I suck! :P hehe -------------- The athlete prepares to run the race he stretches bends drinks readying his body, his muscles and bones finally, it is time taking his place he looks at nobody but only at the path ahead that path is his only foe the alert sounds, and he runs a steady path at first, swift enough but nothing that would break him he ends up alone though ahead of the rest trees and mountains pass on each side but all he sees is the path his feet hit the pavement the rhythmic pattern is his favorite song the breath that sustains him the beat of his heart the only sounds that exist sweat beads and drops but he knows nothing but the path, his feet moving him ahead he knows not for how long this lasts but a bead of sweat hits his eye he closes his eyes for a moment and then he falls down hard he’s not hurt, not really but now he looks around it is now dark on the road he is truly alone the dark trees surround him as long as he looked only straight ahead as long as he did nothing but move along he could go without problem but only now, noticing what had happened what was going on does he stand his muscles scream his chest spasms he falls again unable to move for he just realized that he doesn’t know where the hell he’s going Love's a lovely lad His bringing up is beauty Who loves him not is mad For I must pay him duty -Anonymous |
