Beautiful Scars Poet Sonnet

Unconnected Silence

I’ve been guarded by a visceral veil, 
        a sea of debris is what’s left of me-
Under sapphire skies I used to set sail;
        now, anyone but me…  I wish to be.

        Uprooted in wonder with manic eyes,
with resonating radiance of depth-
        Disguise of lies whispers none but goodbyes, 
failing to encompass my farewell breath.

Ivory light shines when pain disappears, 
        but after one moment it pours once more-
I’m enveloped in solitude with fears 
        on the dirt floor missing those I adore. 

Silence reflected what I neglected-
        so melancholy and unconnected.
