Blood
Creeps in veins
And retrieves
Those hearts as they beat
They drain out of life
Hollow silhouettes
Crossing the light of the sun
As they pass
A thousand thoughts
A thousand feelings
A thousand words
Reduced into one
Muffled screams
Silenced by fear
So turn a deaf ear
And don't say a thing
Feel the innards of your soul
Crumbling down
And you try to hide
You are dead inside
Going through life
But not living it
A ghost you've become
And in those shades
I perpetually wait
For the voids
To be reassumed
For the dead
To be exhumed

Inhuming silence and exhuming words....freeing the weightlessness of our being through the biology of our emotions.
ReplyDeleteLife asks us to deal with it hoping at the end we grow in its wisdom.
Exhumed and assumed are very onomatopaeic (sp?) like a great tolling bell
ReplyDeleteLike the little rhymes thrown in
