Sharia

Free verse, subjective but understandable with work - I believe It is about regret, especially involving old friends and dashed dreams

Sharia

 

Keen sight, wisdom and courage took from me a too-easy load.

I never hated you for that

I told you again and again, 

But I lied.

I wanted everything, but could give you nothing 

Though I had it all.

We were but simple bums, tramps

One step from the street

My brain frowned when I could not see you,                  

Telling me to get lost,

Scowling at me, weeping by yourself.

You tramp! 

My cranium devoid of electric current

bitterness caused it - what might have been.

Oh that I could forget everything 

without even trying.

Sharia, ugly strumpet

May you be erased like heresy 

We are riddled with doubt, even Hell doesn't want us

My eyes burst open

A void appears before my them that swims

Like so many verdant piranha

 where are you?

I can and will do nothing for you now

After a year with you

All I wanted was a mountain of solitude

And Many Bitter Tears
