Glitter

As natural light dissipates slowly,
s l o w l y,
my face golden,
the glowing ball drops
i
n
t
o
the water.

Sand stretches outwards to
kiss
the retreating sea.

I sit and
think
about things.
Beauty.
Ugliness?
Good.
Bad.

How can we
tell
what is
right
and what is
wrong?

we won’t be here for too much longer
we’re killing beauty
for a good hair day

and then there will be
dust
rain
glitter.



Please comment, it will help my poetry. :)

Here's my next, un-edited one.

For The Wind

As each particle moves further away,
I feel it leave
I feel it slowly pull away, to quietly
Put on its clothes
And leave.

The door clicks softly as it closes
You left a hole next to me
I am cold
You didn’t put the duvet back
To where it was when you lay there.

You thought I was sleeping
I heard every particle move from me
From my warm skin
Out to the crisp morning air
I heard you leave
I heard you leave me
Lying gently here
Softer
Desert me for the wind
The rain
The cold.

The pillow is warmer now
Warm, wet,
Salty
Why did you leave me?
Desert me for the wind

Maybe, together
Is not where we are supposed to
Be.
