Decimating Deception

Contributed by SensitiveSoAbused on Friday, 18th June 2004 @ 11:56:13 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

From charcoal sky, when
rain begins to drip,
glistening jewels
down the small of your back...

this is
you will find...
when your pelvic muscles contract
to your consciousness,
implosion,
and you are right back where you started...

This dirty face, darkened;
shoulders rotate, unwill and
gravitate
to the ground and to your soul
[ decimating deception ]

But from within, now bright eyes
blue shimmers buried life
one tablespoon of java
to a cup

Questioning Inquery,
as clouds seem swift and run
dark and light on
blue and grey?

Can this soul's
direct dejection
hold mass
of hope and dreams, can
life's peircing clause, so overwhelming
under flaws
be overcome?

Enlighten tarnished eyes
please, fading fireflies
may heighten shaking chin
or hair of grey...

So I may breathe
now with my heart,
constricted lungs may never hold,
restricted mind will inward fold,
so walking blind
do what you're told...

Do what I want and need to do, yet
this is fake and fleeting too
...never understand what heart will tell...

Pale body dripping, wet
shakes and trembles,

shakes and trembles
not to fall

To only tilt this spinal neck
to search and see the sun again
search for rays of joy and warmth
with sorrowed eyes.

I love your poems, mainly because
Theyre like stories without a plot
I always get dark but beautiful/disturbing
images in my head when i read your words
I get a lot of inspiration from you
Great write
