The Lost Poem

My first poem on here :)

I look over the penetrating beams of rushing crowds

Faces eager to catch tommorows memories

But losing todays lullabies in their blind stillness

Forgetting to bury the seed before letting the flowers bloom....

 

Grey silhouettes breaved from blood and flesh

Swaying restlessly on the concrete floor

Searching for a way to escape their concurrent stories

Seeking a place where their tears are no longer left to dry under the claws of fear....

 

Each one wearing a flamboyant mask,carefully embellished with manufactured smiles

Glued onto their lips by the norms of the society,

They've been conditioned to believe in

So Why not let the mask stay on until the moon arises from the suns corrupt reflection?

 

Eyes closing for another sleepless night

Lips parting breathe out the songs of abondoned words

Fists letting go of their clenched defence

Hearts slowing down to pace with the rythm of innocence

 

I wish they would remember the poem that a little girl once sang,

From the humble heart of a child

I wish they would see...

Themselves from their own mirrors

Not their reflections on others eyes...

I wish they would hear

This very second ...

Not the one passed away

Not the one coming next

Just here and now

The sound of life smiling beside....

this is courageous and inviting imagery, from a voice that appears to be fully evolved into actualization. there is a mindfulness to the existential, within this piece, that breathes it into real. fabulous work, usage, and message (with a gorgeously executed ending.)

Thank you both for your kind words :)

Very invigorating. I absolutely LOVED "Each one wearing a flamboyant mask,carefully embellished with manufactured smiles / Glued onto their lips by the norms of the society". This was incredibly powerful. Well done!
