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.
