Piece of Paradise
I am suddenly livid
Dark side haunts me again
Shattering the very glass
Did l paint the picture rosy?
Hell is it a place?
Or is it a time? a person?
Sometimes all perhaps
I like to believe its time
It was morning or evening
What time was it? no clue
Which day of week was it?
Orientation long gone
Darkness during the brighest day
Flustered in the smoke filled room
Drowned in the melancholic smog
Thud...the bottle of absinthe shattered
Breaking years of silence
The thousand pieces of glass all over
Eye caught a tiny piece of me
I looked distant to me
I examined closer through the pieces
I cleaved into million multiples
My reflection in each of these
Its me, not me panache long one
I accidentally stepped on one
Bleeding profusely all pain in vain
I collected the pieces carefully
That strange numbness is it hell?
Some broken pieces are beyond repair
You cant mend and fix every despair
I swear not to shed a tear
Life was never never meant to be fair
An indomitable thirst rose in me
Thirst when a wildfire engulfs you
Thirst and the fire quiver my lips
Parched lips lets out a faint chant
As I devour a gorgeous sunset now
Birds safely back to tiny nests
I walked through hell and built
A piece of paradise!
