***
Handful of burning blood
From your heart
Right in the center of mine –
Heart and spine,
Limbs and brain,
So I could feel your pain
Again
And Again.
So I could sense the depth
Of your hurting heart
Being torn apart
Pulsing
Inside my heart.
***
I wanted to touch
Your heart with mine –
But the thorny fence you built around it
Cut me.
I longed to peel off
Those funny masks we put on our faces –
But you didn’t want me to see
Tears in your real eyes.
I called you to spread your wings
And fly away with me –
But you sent me a message
That your angel days were long gone.
Now what am I supposed to do now –
No thorns around my heart,
My mask is broken
And endless loneliness in the sky around me…
Among those blinking images
Concatenated in one
Endless stream of animal planet flashes
Alone stands this
So seemingly shallow –
Deliberately.
But under the meaningless
Foam rocking on the waves
This ocean is deep.
I know –
Because I am sinking –
And there is no bottom
To this fall.
