Disembodied souls
10 August 2016
The cliffside narrows in thundering sea
The twist and the turn alternating roles
Hearts will and then spurn sunrise and black holes
Of bliss and gallows homicidal glee
Sleepless eye hollows ashen face to flee
The embers that burn in the dying coals
The memories that churn disembodied souls
In flowing shadows on renewal spree
The maidens attire a silken slow tale
Of morrows weaving bare hilltops to mount
Millennium’s desire era to inhale
Blue chest bereaving the fear to surmount
The flames of the pyre in thoughts never pale
Of minds conceiving a lifetime to count
Reading of the poem:
A Thousand Years – Sting
A Thousand Years – Cristina Perri
