Blinding Light

Flying plates,broken porcelain 
and
smashed family portrait
jewels strewn on the stained 
marble floor
bloodshot eyes are fixed on its 
makers
amidst anguished cries,
they dismember each other.

A frail body rushes into the 
night
with a bleeding heart
darkness awaits to heal yet 
another wound
i have travelled far
so beckon me not my makers
your chandeliers blinds me
I'll open my eyes in the dark.
