White Blind Light

White Blind Light

A Poem by M.Kilani
"

un-edited stream of consciousness

"
A new page not of poetry 
A new page of destiny 
And a new start 
For mind more than heart 
All fears and desires now awake
Awake and await for a mistake 
As the numb skin dies on shore 
Bleeds the mind and asks for more
Were they rainbow eyes 
Were they wild horses' 
Or were they none 
A crow in the sun 
Should I even say
Or wait until May
Horses, heavens and rainbows
Black, pain and maze 
Son of Sun is gone 
Cries upon my shoulder 
Try, die and cry 
Try again as you get older 
Winter would you end
No more rain descend
World would you stop
I breathe as I drop 
All there promises were wrong
All to the very last song 
Words, freedom and birds
They all soar free, but not me
And she 
Is there a room for me 
Or am I to face another shelf 
Await a fall from a cliff 
what about me 
Another season died 
Another night I sighed 
would this ever end 
and I've never asked why 
Why should I try 
Why do promises fall in order 
Why did he die 
why can't sun be colder 
I remember the smell 
The words they used to tell 
And my screams across the meadow
Where's moon at my window 
Why did I become what I have always fought
Aren't we but a thought
And a lie 
Why now Why me ... why 
Why do dawns escape the scene behind forests of concrete 
Why do rivers change their ways to the lands of the rich ones 
And why do they kill our sons
In chaotic matter of her presence I find all right answers for wrong questions 
I find gods and devils in her mind I find a world and an order
I find music and butterflies demons and angels fighting me 
I find myself mesmerized I can't even tell, a soldier
The arbitrary paradox  haunts me 
it urges the deepest of my mind to question everything 
Why she turns her head to hear the words I utter 
Why am I undead and why is my door knocked by another 
What hides behind her sigh, what life awfully did 
intonation, exaggeration, interrogation 
education, inspiration, observation 
reded fingers and stains of tar
anticipation, vindication and intoxication 
I was poisoned by my thoughts 
dreaded by despair 
I yearn wilderness for no reason 
I yearn her there 
under skies where she was unknown 
under ragged stars and blooded moon
starring horizon in the eye 
thinking; tomorrow I'll stay a child
I yearn now homelessness and empty street
Her echo at the voice of my weakened feet
when she was a dream I chase in headlights
A rush of blood that evokes my fights
But now I see her right before my eyes
Perhaps another ghost
I no longer can tell truth from lies
how can I be that lost 
I write for a stranger 
that I feel I well known 
again my heart I endanger 
again I'm awake another dawn
as I lay with a heartache 
physical that is, do not mistake 
I think of all possibilities if I ran away 
If I died What would she say 
I am an outcast of the world of filth 
I try not to be on my own 
but I fail every day, I wish for death 
I fall like a stone 
two months since I last got paid 
what good now can I do 
and pride is about to fade 
love me why would you 
I promise nothing but a smile 
And a portion of agony 
that I can give for a while 
for that is what's left of me 
at the stream of my consciousness I find it hard 
Hard to go on, hard to move on and hard to weep 
as the music plays and fades away 
as I lay down to sleep 
I find nothing but more chaos because of your absence 
more questions and more verses for me to write 
as I stare down my fingers 
I thank god for the white blind light

This is so amazing and the best part about it is i literally felt the emotions and chills up and down my spines and the sensation of the burning wrist (if u know what i'm talking about) by reading this! It's like every ounce of your emotions were spilled on this piece and woven in and drawn out and perfectly imprinted! And i can really connect and relate to this of course =) keep up the pure epic and clearly stated work

Excellent stanza. I love it.

I love the place that these staccato images take me. There is so much more to this poem but for the moment - my heart came to rest on the above - well penned.

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you like these lines.
Thanks again,
Mohammad.
A powerful poem. So much pain and decisions in the poem. I like the flow of thoughts and the search for something to hold on to and believe in. I did like the positive ending to the poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

. . .

How can something be personal and transcendant? How can something so lengthy only continue to draw me in further, despite an ADD-like obsession to move on? Because you, sir, have written an amazingly lyrical, painfully relatable piece of art.

I enjoyed this read very much, sometimes I see glimpses of the 'old you' in the 'new you', you have certainly changed as a poet since I've been reading you.
