In tRanQuil

Blindly I seethe as the muse drinks skin


In tranquil there is no escape

Just the steady breeze of rejection

Listen to the sounds non existent 

Just the shadows chasing cracks in time

In the final sigh all will be heard

Tearing time as soul escapes skin

Look into eyes carrying futures page in a book

Past melds into obliterated semblance 

Smudged

Smeared

 

Words cannot write themselves 

Spread as letters invisibly bleed

Then they appear as if from nowhere

Is there truth in what they say

 

Can you live for me

Inside

I bleed

Bleed a dark sin

Refrain from plunging rusty blades into wrists already bled dry

Erase

Memories not exchanged for breathe

 

This time is over now

This fear is expelled now 

Exchanged for another skin

 

In a blink

It will happen again

 

again

 

again

 

again

 

In tranquil there is no escape

Just the steady breeze of rejection

When I read work like this, I feel the pain and wonder, "Is is current? Is this a recollection of the past?" Your inferences and direct accounts add details that only an experienced soul would understand.
Also wish this character, this scene, could lead to the place where tranquility is real, inner peace is true and contentment is the norm.
