An Offer from Life
#WritcoPoemPrompt112
With everything that life has to offer,
There's so much to be enjoyed,
But the pleasures of sleeplessness I suffer,
Is the one I cannot avoid.
As I stood by the river at midnight,
The choking beauty of glistening surface,
The sadness could've been lost from sight,
But nostalgia is calling herself night's mistress.
Through the cold sheet of wind,
I see you rising from the flames of the bonfire,
Life's offer maybe sinned,
But I stand afar and admire.
