Description
Internal StormsSometimes there will come soft rains
falling with light touches, fingers gliding
Hands reaching outstretched towards gates left closed
with eyes left dark and souls stripped bear
yet it is almost light, and even the dawn lights slides through broken fingers
and shadows chase eternity through dust clogged halls best left forgotten
Hearts fire, Hearts passion have finally brought burns in the fifth degree
where even bone is burnt muscle charred and skin left dry and brittle
Falling away from this, where even feeling indifferent takes too much energy
yet lightning always strikes the same fool over and over again
from his feet (feats) soaring towards the heavens
and from the inside outwards, life's blood is once again spilled
as you slowly slide into shock, your heart beats (bleeds) out
beaten to pieces by the very same things that once brought you joy
give everything important away
give up the very air in your lungs
give up the very breath in your breast
give up every beat of your hearts innermost desire
What's left to give?
Doors slide open such as those arms that spread wide
hold me close and just let me rest one more time
feel heat seep into weary veins once more
The light of dawn finally breaks...
and so once again do I
down
and
away

Breaking... that's something I'm beginning to understand... internal storms are not much fun but they produce some great poetry

They also produce some much needed changes within ourselves. They also hurt like hell lol. My best works come when i hurt the most i noticed.

Yeah... although I think true joy can produce good stuff too... it's just the general day to day apathy that doesn't seem to hold much in the way of creative spark. Ach what do I know! Pain is definitely a powerful creative catalyst...

Kind words are always appreciated, where words thaw hearts frozen with fear yet hollow encased emptiness in which all lacks feelings sincere
