Collecting me

Collecting me

Scrambled across the universe

Like a jigsaw puzzle scattered

Amongst thoughts so terse

While a snake soul flattered

♦

Behold the leaves of destiny

Unfold in myriads of shapes

Twining, escaping all scrutiny

Disguises, pretences and drapes

♦

Watch closely as mirrors shatter

From darkness by none alit

Pieces of memories to scatter

A thorn in rose, a wrist ne’er slit

♦

Life roars with a hundred calls

Desperation is but a feeble’s hue

Fear not for what rises too falls

And what falls will rise anew

♦

Prayers remain unanswered

As two will not be blended one

For a voice that is unheard

Feels not the glow of the sun

♦

Gathering the essence to my chest

I dance to tunes of slow solace

Birds fly free but seek their nest

As sundown earth’s kiss does grace

♦
