You ask me
what it is I weep for
It is for this:
Imagine
A dust covered bloom
whose thin sickly veil
sees neither sun nor shadow
no fears water her nor smiles colour her
She is just
under the motion of time
to rot & live
in a timeless confine
without a word to wisen
nor a hand to guide
no audience cheers for her
no critics berate
It is just in this — indescribable place
that she pats in desperate dark
to find a boundary, a place — But
there is no place, no ground,
no even air for her to breathe.
She is eternal & no one knows
for no breath was given for her to bloom.
She is the lost treasure of every man
the decay of an unheard dream
whose voiceless calls could only be heard
as the shuddering of the soul.
Still yet, She caws and She crows,
shivering the mind mad,
but hands move not,
cannot,
as the eyes watch the edge of forever,
inch closer by,
And it is for this that I weep,
for all those lost great spasms of the soul,
whose inked blood could have coloured the world free,
had they, but just this or that happenstance,
But they did not.
