Drowned Into It

Those flames danced,

flickered and glimmered,

and kindled a spark in me,

my soul gathered me,

and flew me to eternity,

I sighed and gasped to breathe,

the wind swirled around me,

taking me to limits,

a voice in me kept raising high,

I found myself in a noisy crowd,

bloody eyes peering at me hard,

the noise outside,

the noise inside,

I fell to my knees,

each tear fell,

formed an ocean,

I kept drowning,

till I felt nothing,

just the space above and the ground below.

Shards Of Glass

Through my kalaedoscope,

of colored glass,

of shattered symmetry,

and measured beauty,

angles and arches,

fragments of hazy shadows,

stained glossy pieces,

over a bricked wall,

or within me?

embedded,

sharp edged,

from the fullness of form and shape,

came these,

broken,

and lonely,

unnamed shards of glass.
