Closing Walls
breathless, I wait
for peace to fall
restlessness to subside
and the passionate longing
to die
trying to patch
the holes in my heart
with lucid meaning
failing hopelessly
as darkness
confirms
scars
don't bleed
they penetrate
through
every layer
coating
the core
cutting the corners
of my lips
with fake smiles
in a glass house
reality
knowing
I can't hide
the truth which gleams
from my eyes
a truth,
I can't fight
praying
shamelessly
to god
which I feel
has deafened his ears
as my repeated sin
my potent desire
continuously
consumes
shaking
caged
behind my wall
internal tears
of pain,
overflow
burning
stinging
one by one
as they fall
finally
letting go
of all
which my
heart clinged
as this
passionate soul
surrenders
exhales &
finally closes

wow, SoulWhispers, awesome can be an overused word, it has a spiritual reference and Latin? roots, anyway, it identifies with God; a gift from God; a part given as a gift. I use the word to describe this poem as it navigates through despair, self realization, surrender and acceptance, seemingly in the space of a single breath, if a single thought can identify who we really are so concisely, then indeed awesome comes to mind immediately as I read this work....a highly ambitious poem wonderfully written....cheers poet
