muted thoughts

Posted on October 20, 2013 Updated on November 6, 2013

the madness we caress
purity in your tears
treasure in these ruins,
and the futility of those fears
is it worth it, is it worth the pain?

[pause]

enough of pain
darkness and blurred sight
come close, heed to my plight
I have burnt the blame
in a holy flame
lead me from the ashes
show me your light

Nicely done.

I also actually really like that you put “(pause)”… It makes me wonder.

Like the Phoenix, we can’t rise from the ashes unless we first start a fire! Beautiful poem dear!
