Once upon a time

In no land but mine

Birds used to sweetly sing

As the boughs duly swing

When every spring flower blooms

And a pleasant future looms

Till the golden era dwindled

When trusted ones had us swindled

Causing each blossom to wither

In so much a dismal weather

Dirtied beyond clearance

Sapping our forbearance

Yet threat of doom betides

Swimmers against the tides

Thence lives in unbalance sway

With every hope flown away

Like a haplessly parried dove

Into a darkened sky above

That further blurs the mind’s sight

De-crystallizing the might

That once aspired to move mountains

While wide open were the curtains

To a stage so filled with promises

But now drawn close by chains of losses

And so we live like rats

Hiding from savage cats

High atop a fortress' rafter

Unhappily ever after

Thanks LC and Hotsauce. I like writing sad poems which seems to give some people a wrong impression of my personality, which happens is a lively and outgoing one.

Great stuff, Poly! Excellent use of adjectives....now you'll have to excuse me, I have to go throw myself off a cliff.
