Murmur

a murmur slips
still holding on -
but far too late
the day is done

and so you follow me into sleep
and slow tomorrow eases and creeps
along with a murmur
and nothing much else

Are we talking heart murmur here? Someone clinging to life? I feel you have the making of a good poem in the first and last 2 lines. The middle section is a bit mundane, I think.

Hey, R.

This feels to me likes it's about dreams, and perhaps, regret.

If so, the final line is a nice resolution.

If I had to nit... the lack of capitalisation and punctuation leaves things a little to 'open' for me.

Liked it.

Builds tension nicely in the first section, but somehow seems to lose momentum and just work its way to the end.

The second section doesn't seem as "clean" as the first.
