Omitted

It’s when smiles surface and the wind carries my worries,

My mind in the midst of a rippling, folding ocean.

It’s when the universe colours the world with a sunset,

And my heart calm with the harmony of the birds.

But it is these moments where my eyes are lit

Lit with darkness amongst majestic moments.

The wind falls, worries return, oceans to angry tsunamis

Sunsets to a black angry canvas, harmony into noise

Why? Why? I have forgotten…

Nightmarish realities still so vivid, they’re scars on my skin,

Scars that burn and scars that sting,

They’re the rats that make all dirty, make all ugly,

But I still forget. 

It’s not the agonizing punches and kick �" that I can take

It’s the overwhelming tide of guilt that encompasses my being. 

I become an empty vessel as I’m reminded of lost treasure.

The secret key to the wings of an angel

Shoo! Shoo! I shall escape

Now it’s the smiles that surface on gloomy days,

My mind in the midst of rush hour,

It’s when thunder and lightening dull the world

A silent harmony, an eternally elusive escape.

Escaping accumulated conversions from pain to anguish

Anguish that soon become tears becoming rainstorms

A door clasped tight, locked within

Memories that slowly extinguish the fire, the heat all around

I have forgotten you.

Beautiful! This piece reminded me of an experience a while back. I especially like the line The wind falls, worries return, oceans to angry tsunamis" was just great! Even though things might be great, there will always be something hanging over you. There is a vivid clash of happiness and chaos. A great write, keep it up :P

Holy s**t, it was like I was reading my thoughts and views on my life. When I was recovering and everything was looking up, I saw the light, the fire of transformation, but still the darkness returned... How did I forget the feeling? Anyways, amazing write, good job.
