I did not see you
Invisible
Death
Wearing only
Water strung like pearls
Your luring architecture mastered over centuries
A geometric maze
I sit and wonder how many innocent lives you have taken
So proudly displayed upon your
Mandala patterned streets
Various colored lights of
Blue, red and yellow blushing gold
In the dusky light of dawn
As you take my soul
Memory by memory
Thought by thought

1st place!!! Congratulations, Bella!!
Thank you !!! I was so happy about winning this particular contest 🙂
I read your poem this way: with each life taken, death also takes your soul because with each one it’s memory and thought lost. Well? Right now I am very sensitive to this subject since I’ve been writing poetry somehow involving death. Congratulations! It is a great poem you have here.
Love the picture, the poem itself is a feast. xx
