Indifference

With the venom I've been dyed with I become a stranger Even to myself Having lived too long In a world of stones The gentle spirit That used to breathe Inside me with soft consience Seems missing Prompted by bitter thoughts Hissing out of cracks On dark rocks around me My heart no longer beats Like it used to Sweet murmers and tender persuasions As silky as green touch of spring Whispering graceful dreams And warm words As confident as roots Have evaporated and withered My flesh and bones too are As dry as sermons What'll I do with your love now When my being no longer Absorbs honey I wish not to stand In front of your throne With my rocky history But then Your love too is as indifferent as Sands of a desert Strangulating moist hope of an oasis Like the way These rocks do to me Souls failing all the way To your indifference
