A poem, yet more like a collage of imagery. And, isn't that what a poem is anyway? |
| Somewhere within Twisting and turning Calling and churning Blowing around you in calm blasts of breeze And shining in your eyes, flakes of ash and corona Broken ice, colder than the touch of the heartless Frozen mind, louder than the voice of the banshee Slithering across your skin, snakes of solid sound And sinking into you like water into the soil Licking flames, descending sphere of fire from the sky Surrounding you, the plasma caresses your very inside Somewhere within Falling and seething Living and breathing Zephyrs and sun shards cut their lines in the fabric of time And sizzling on your skin the flames of treachery consume Lost somewhere, hotter than the hands of consequence Reaching rot, the weeds drain all the life away from the promise Through the shutters and chambers of the hollow heart Seeping in to disease the core of a new day and word and sky Demented window, light goes through clear and comes out muddy Pillows of wind, zephyrs and sun shards, emptiness is illusion |
