Frayed Identity

Inner lining unseen

An extra layer for the skin

A filter of deadly rays of light

A cover for our naked parts

Seasons come

Seasons fade

Inner desires

And the yearning for the sensual caresses

Of the cold wind of our cousins across the seas

Coerced and tricked us

Blindly,

We stripped

And ripped off our inner linings

Alas,

The cold winds of our cousins

Remained with our cousins

Our skins are now burnt

And blackened by the searing heat

From those deadly light rays

Time returns with its offspring

And we are still here

Unaware

Of our shredded seams

The Storm Within

She sits in the dark night with her eyes raised

Staring into heaven’s shadow.

She stares ‘til the black sky tenses.

The sky’s blackness morphs to a dark orange-red hue.

The disquiet of the heavens stirs the stagnant air.

Fuming in disgust and protesting to her intense stare,

The air morphs into wind.

Wind bursts out and awakens the earth’s crust;

Dust becomes a painting on all life.

She continues to stare, 

She doesn't blink

The sky squirms

Her eyes are the vents to her fury

Her anger tortures the innocent night’s sky

Her rage yanks out the breath from the wind

As trees fly, the heavens begin to cry

Its tears splattering as blood from a severed artery

Her eyes are stung by heavens tears; she blinks.

As the heavens weep, the cries of the skies louden

Every scream triggering a radiant steak across the skies

The boisterous wind crushes her down

As heaven’s tears cleanses her.

As the raging furnace burning deep within her is doused,

She turns to him and whispers

A Call From Beyond

Tears drench my hardened face

As you are lowered into earths belly

She violently pulls me towards you…

The clouds are a tattered lace

A call from beyond

…I hear your voice beyond the dirt

Memory is a flood inside my brain

Erasing all the sanity within…

The sun emits rays inert

In here, I don’t belong

…Lingering feelings within a lifeless soul

Your love, your care, you loved me whole

A wretched being, but you looked within...

Poisoned darts of rain

A call from beyond
In here, I don’t belong

Let me be as cold as you

To journey with you beyond the gates of life

For in this world I do not belong

In that world, you do not belong

Let me hear your voice call from beyond

Unfulfilled

On the eroded ground

Lies a path for the fallen rain

A stream with no sound

A flood of waste

Through the dawn of his life

Filters a golden ray of light

An assurance of a bright warm sun

A fore gleam of an eternal luminance

Clouds - dark and murky

Shrouds a gift of power and beauty

He lived and died a “potential”

Never attaining his true stature

His life was a dream

A dream, unfulfilled

Torment

Eye blinks

A tear drop

Energy saps

A chasm in the chest

Pain hounds

Regrets on replay

Voices of tomorrow

Echoes today

A Tear Drop

Night falls, heavy dew

Dew drops, beautiful petals

A cool breeze, morn dawns

Beautiful petals, dew drops

Just a drop

My heart melts

My blows soften

I realize, how fragile you are

Just a drop

My thoughts change

My tongue recoils

I realize how hurt you are

Just a drop

My frown erases

A reluctant smile draws

As I see your innocence

Just a drop

You in my arms

I nod to your heart beat

My stupidity plays in my head

Dew scented air

Rose petals on my tongue

Its thorns…

…Prick my heart
