Silent contemplation

The muse hold my tongue 


Contemplating the breath that escapes

Fervent in essence of me

Expelled deep from within

Coloured in reverent hues

Captured in bottled acquiescence

Capped in braids of gilded heart

 

All but nothing exists in one

Inscribed on parchment

Quilled of a feather drawn

Elaborate scratching versed in words

Prose for the seminal few

Held in coloured stone

 

Exhaled slowly with purpose

Tasted on moistened tongue

Rich in texture of fallacies invalidated

Freshened on the chill of air

Fogged in a smoke like essence

Fading ethereal in dream state

 

Recognition of the regretful few

Will be seen without futures

Mirrored in the soles of my shoes

Painted in remembrance on the walls

Few words are chosen

When words are spoken by so few

This is really harsh, in a good way - I mean the last stanza is so heavy...suffocating actually....matted with turmoil and also the feeling of no shine...incarcarated vision...no reflection...dull and throttling, amazing piece! This is the bones of the wreckage! xoxo
