Just Another Poem

[Shadowman]

Consequence

Shallow thoughts,
The mind wanders,
Consequence unthought of.

They lay across the cold surface,
Tender, yet unaware,
The essence of life inside them.

The Goosebumps shudder over,
The pale, clammy flesh,
As fingers find their grip.

The silver moonlight glistens,
Off the murky waters,
What is to become?

In the mind of the beholder,
Lies a deep secret
A painful memory.

Eyes stare, then move,
To look at their reflection,
Cold, dark, deep.

The heavy hand,
Blood racing through,
Lifts the mighty blade.

The sweat,
The tears,
Will not persuade.

Pain engulfs the arm
And spreads throughout the body,
Of this tearful, lonely girl.

The body slumps to the dirt,
Like a petal of a rose,
Limp, motionless.

The heart trembles,
Its final beat ticks over,
This precious soul is dead.

The soul transcends to heaven
Unaware of the pain it has caused,
Not even consequence.
