Other Side of the BarsA Poem by Misty Daze
My insides withering like a flower
I'm a prisoner of life Forced to stay blooming Can't cross the bars in front of me And embrace the peace that awaits me On the other side. In my head it's a graveyard Of thoughts that were never given Their deserved form into words They died halfway before reaching the throat As life stole my voice leaving me choked My eyes are tired Of gazing at the other side of the bars They know it's a matter of idiocy but Still hopes to see her closely, her true form She looks so serene and alluring to them The longing flows out of them Like tiny rivers of blood My ears are hypnotized by Her melancholic humming and her sighs She sings in her tender grieving voice While playing with the strings of that harp And beguiles me towards her To fall into her slumber And find the peace that awaits me A clot formed in my heart My heart finds it hard to beat like before The clot plots the seeds of poison in it The heart knowingly pumps the poison inside the body The mind has no will to stop the killing It follows the heart blindly To reach the far end of the bars The eyes with a newfound passion To continue this endeavour Stop their bloody tears from flowing Piles them inside in hope of meeting their end The ears are solemnly Following the music flowing in the air Is it really playing or is it an imagination of the pair? They didn't notice it at all Death appears to know what's going On this side of the bars But life clings to me Trying to hold me down It cuts my wings and seals my hands It severs my tongue and chains my legs Slashes my ears and only leaves my eyes And I again watch her sitting patiently With a harp on the other side of the bars. © 2024 Misty DazeAuthor's Note
