Poem Title:
Poem
Endurance: Keep changing perspective; If only to combat the dwindling light~ Each droplet of tear from me shall shine, My beauty shall stand tall, I shall bloom to the happiness of those I love, And my love shall stay the same Until I fall. My heart searches the airwaves for an answer... Feeling for a pulse, For a bead of life. Tired and torn, My understandings shatter like glass... Teardrops line the cracks and gaps That exist between the fragments Of my scuffed and scattered mind. Memories dance like a rogue sunbeam Sparkling on the sequins of my blouse. Like silver stars twinkling across a sea of Burberry carpet, Flashes of inspiration capture my wandering eye. A twist of thread lies on the floor before me; Black and tangled, Free and formless... A stark contradiction to my carefully catalogued Collections of thought. I somehow awoke to this nightmare: A kingdom of sorrow Where fear has become the patriarch. Enslaved by my base desires, Steel bars of ignorance brandish the cells Of my caged and captive potential. Every atom of my composure Becomes no more than a cruel trick of light, A practiced sleight of hand... A ruse that has become impenetrable, Seamless and familiar; Touching the darkest parts of the heart, Caressing the ill begotten frills Of our utterly underdeveloped souls. Yet, still, we endure. The wheel turns, The fire burns, The spirit yearns, The ashes gather And fill the urns... And Still, We Endure. Accepting what we cannot change but giving space to ourselves boundaries from what hurts us what is beyond our endurance to bear Believe me, you deserved someone better You are reborn from fire, from the light, And light you become. The darkness is repelled by your presence; You have broken free of your deficiencies. By conquering your demons, You have proved yourself above the dark. The blackness is trapped beneath your feet, It can never control you again... Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good and His mercies, Oh yes His mercies, they never fail us never. His mercies they endure forever and ever and ever more. By Aliza Kashmala Kiran
