The engravements of the dunes state who lies here
It is me but the detail is to small to read
I went running into the night only to be rid of you
Now you're here and your'e echoes call into the night
chasing me. sorry i cant answer you
I try to talk but the wind takes my wind and uses them against me.
Your calls soon die they drift away queitly
past the moon and back
the wind whips those words
they sound all distorted to me
nothing at all like you.
Vague and weary I drift between conciousness
Numb with the ache of the retreating world
everything is sin, everything is a lie.
And so I stared when you were only a metre away
I saw your face was not as tainted as it once had been
And it hurt my heart to see that
a dead smile writhing on false pretenses
The feeling you once had a lie too
deep to muster a spill.
Then the fact that you saw me
in your eyes you covered up
You were cold like the night
and fierce like the fire.
Taking these elements you made them your friends
and you whispered low but loud so I knew you were speaking
and to me.
I turned away as the night got colder
and all my fire was gone
only to return every so often as a blaze
It burnt my insides and I stumbled out
feeling hollow. choking on my own blood.
It dribled down my chin and you scowled you disgust
yet when I was perfect your emotions were indifferent
I cant talk to you over the wind
the malice of its blue, like a deadmans flesh
I shiver and scant keeping my empty hollow woe
My hands are placed facing the sky
a sky thats grateful to only some.
You often come and walk to my void side of the hill
Never once will you mention me instead
its of your new hollywood type of life.
But when you speak it seems forced
as if its a little white lie
Sometimes you will come and bend at the clays of my cold life
the clay reminds me I'm dirty and of filth
I'm corruption, I'm lies, sins all in one
You know I feel this way and you like to point the blame
my tears are not mine although
you pretend you believe
they are yours cause you were the one
lost in the storm by the waves
you confused me with the cause
You crossed through flame and hail
Weep, I let you weep and let you go
Obviously you could not find your way home
Now I have lost the soul, the only soul
I have known
(now its bleeding)
Haunting and beautiufl, thats all i can say about this peice....Rae
After thirty-three years of reading poetry, I can say that this is one of the most powerful poems I have ever read. Its words will haunt me well after I am done reading it.
