Opaque
A flower,
Open to the mother orb,
Petals open wide,
Leans towards lovers first kiss,
The aftermath of winter,
Sufferings gift.
Bliss.
A sparrow,
Wings stretched,
Sends greetings and goodbyes,
To the breath that sways the tides,
That lures two gentle beings,
Given the try at sanity in a realm of madness,
A gust,
An exhale of the sky,
Carries lovers aim towards one wretched mane of man,
At the breach of sparrow’s coda.
A word,
From soul to breath,
Unheard and unknown,
Is uttered from a place entirely alone.
A grin,
Fading under blood curdling echoes,
Reveals a past,
Ripping seems from grass,
Below the feet that trod upon a dream,
Lost before dreamt.
Pain oozes from the landscape’s wounds,
Haunting all existence with her cries.
A battle,
Fought and yet ceased,
A cut dug deep and never bandaged,
A desperate upturning of the lips,
Hangs in breath as the mangled capsule of a tortured mind drifts off into the backdrop of life’s temporary residence.
A wind,
Blowing so surely,
Acting as rain’s towel and spirit’s guide,
Takes him away from this extraordinarily mundane existence.
It is all so opaque.
