Luminous Fragments
Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces
That dwells within me
Wanting to be whole
These fragments of memories
That have lasted a lifetime
And borne the rich suffering
Luminous and yet dim and hidden
Forgotten and yet a sweet smelling rose
Adorned in my hair so dark
Shining like myriad starred heaven
When the moonlight turns dim
Devouring my soul and yet ready to drench
My parched torn heart
