30 in 30: Day 5

Prompt: pick three words that you absolutely love the sound of and set out to use them in your poem.

My words: beyond, salvation, colossus.

Form: Distich

My time is dying, a death unfair, moving
Beyond the scope of books and study.

Beyond the standing pen and paper,
The soaring colossus that is my room.

Beyond that colossus, that fetid death,
It dies to find salvation.

Salvation found beyond itself, hidden
In hearts unseen. Unseen by that colossus!

That hungering beast, with such false passion,
Seeks pretentious looks and grandeur.

To that I die, admit my loss, no more
Time to waste. I meekly seek my savior.
