Tomorrow’s Man

Poetry 1 Minute

Concrete breaths mark the next phase,

stone upon stone laid roughly in the earth.

—

Pathways to the stars run only through water,

where twinkling ripples melt repeatedly.

—

Reality comes in a steadfast sunrise;

gold absorbs but never reflects.

—

Such metal circles require greased extractions,

but the only pig fat comes from me.

—

Dead now, this aqualung heart submerged

in deepest darkness, bottom of the trench.

—

Tomorrow’s just another day, they say,

but who they are remains moot.

Thank you for reading

Richard

Richard M. Ankers is the English author of The Eternals Series and Britannia Unleashed all published by Next Chapter. Richard feels privileged to have had stories and poetry published all over the world. He lives to write. A prolific writer, a constant source of clearing his mind, Richard has created this website to share just some of the many poems and prose he has written that would otherwise have fallen by the wayside. Reading and writing have always been Richard's main love along with the pursuit of keeping fit, running, walking, and anything that provides a spectacular view. Running in the rain with his headphones on whilst dreaming up some future storyline is just about perfect. It would be nicer still if that run was in Switzerland or Norway, but we can't have everything. Oh, and coffee, lots and lots of coffee.
