Poem Title:
Poem
R a i n ~ a misted mirror coated in petrichor pain ~ fused with memories pirouetting through the veiled salt of the earth, caressing the Pina Colada dreams adrift in the icy-blue air, amidst clouds soaked in prismatic hues ~ arching like opalescent canopies, to hide the despair I’ve draped in dragonfly hues that no one knows but the moon and his merciful silver, forever stroking the silken surface of s i l e n c e ~ homed within my heart that aches… And along with the thunder ~ came confetti of scars, a piercing flash of metallic truth revealing midnight rays of how I’ve long been the storm ~ a murky sky of cracked constellations, a rush of roaring torrents, driving my thoughts to the honed borderline of tremors and torture ~ teetering on forsaken fragility. O dahlia dawn ~ I am the splitting tempest, the spectral outline of electrified lightning. I taste the bittersweet flavors of opaline stars ~ trembling in angst, as fleeting sparks of the buried past, too, feel the hurt beneath the pansies of paradise, where angels unfurl their wings, sprinkling tears of hope upon the battlefield of shattered dreams, lamenting the endless war that burns in the olive-green orchard of the grief-struck mind, where fairy-lights flicker neon hints of prejudice through broken twigs ~ a pitiful perception, amplifying the echoing embers floating above puddles of weathered lilies, stained with dust and powder, weaving a requiem for the f a l l e n jewels, walking through the trails of bruises and tilted tulips, bleeding poetry ~ beautified with polychromatic phrases and falcon ink that cuts through paper promises, leaving nothing but a restless reverie, breathing in the quivering warmth of quietude…
