Poem: Dust of the Bloodied

Walking across the dust of the bloodied
In the light of the moon of bone
I feel sorrow gripping my heart
And a sense of emptiness filling my stone cold soul   No sounds are to be heard
Except for a lone heartbeat
One that grows fainter with each step I take
A sound that I wish will never truly end

A short poem? This is interesting.   Heavy to begin with and keeps it until the end. You don't quite grip my feelings, but it still kept me interested to read it and think more deeply. I still think it is good since the rhythm and something deeper exists there under the textual depth that I can see.   It is similar in style to death poems from Japan. Has that inspired it perhaps?

Thank you ^-^ I am actually not that familiar with Japanese death poems, though. So do not think so.
