Day in my Mind

 

Close the curtain of

nightfall skin.

Carry the sound

of silence with

every heart's note

deeper to the soul.

Cast away each

purpose and reason

to believe.

Claw at shadows

dancing on the

music of tears

raining down.

Cage the thorns

rooted in soil

cursed with

dying memories.

Care to understand

this day in

a mourning mind.

Author's Note

If a tear told a lifelong story, I would have it rain tears for you.

Could we know what this poem is exactly about?

[Acropolix]

You are probably right to ask such a question because it's very difficult to make any sense of this poem...
But I can try to explain to you what I mean by this poem. I mean for the reader to close his eyes and shut down all senses. To be taken away from all the noises and distractions that come to us in our day to day activities. I want you to hold on to the silence within you. See the silence, the ocean of darkness in which you swim. Next, imagine the silence and emptiness to be all there is. Forget the very existence of life, of earth, of all the people we know. Only think of the dark emptiness that swirls through your mind. There is no reason, no believe, only peace and harmony. Suddenly, the darkness turns into shadows which make you cry and feel intense pain. Tears stream down your cheeks and you try to push away the shadows, but they are all that there is. The shadows come closer and closer like iron bars of a cage. And they bring memories back to you, of death and grief. Once you imagine this and feel what I describe, then you understand what a mourning mind can be like. Open your eyes and you care to understand.
