evaporated shards

By knightmirror

I'm victim to another scheme
diabolically distorted
interpretation that has mislead
transparent shards
only seen in a kalidiscope dream
unable to be aborted
once you're summoned by the dead
mustering up scars

the sleeper has awakened at last
replenishing fragments lost
as emotional shards disintegrate fast
struggling to pay the cost

so my souls passport isn't revoked

You're witness to another crime
breaching contract
drawn up by empty souls choir
instantly implying
tones i've taken in my time
formed a pact
before evaporating into the fire
of all those crying

the sleeper has awakened
spreading his message

it is I who disturbed you,
in order to distribute
the virus of life
among those
on the shore of the dead

A former member wrote: Loving this dark and gothic ink. Very good imagery throughout.
A former member wrote: Hmm...I feel this has such a mixed message...he who sees himself as a victim can never be a giver of life...is this perhaps the opinion of someone sho believes your truths to be misleading? Or your perception of someone who sees themselves as a healer who is lost as the dead he claims to give life to? Interesting...

A former member wrote: "among those on the shore of the dead" Bright, fast & intimate. A kalidiscope for the unconscious; well done.
A former member wrote: I just love the way you word things and still get the poem to flow so well.
A former member wrote: I suppose I'll add my two cents to this heap of bullshit (j/k, jesus people lighten up). woah was one of the first words to come to mind, for sure. The Sleeper indeed has awakened, and the light of its truth is burning the black of lies and decay....
