Simply Breathe

My heart presses to words 

between flaws that stand in silence

passing through a storm of emotion

exhaled in whispers

engraved into flesh

…dominos fall with perpetual force

 

music ripples across tongue

piercing empty shadows, swirling around atmosphere

rain gathers tears, flowing into blank stares

dripping from stars into pools of impossible

 

I sit on clouds of confessions

riding the wind of rhythm

ill at ease with flash backs

 

seeking knowledge from ink stained paper

unbalanced woman behind burning aloneness

creating persona of self from crumbling ashes

 

I superglue vacant thoughts together

from remnants of lonely skin fallen captive

inside lines of life

 

bookmarked memories collide as sanity claims

revenge behind hysterical laughter

inventing something to say as alphabets die

in a uncontrollable burn of mind alteration

 

in the space between sympathetic ignorance

loud anger crashes into stroked ego on a journey

to split words

… wisping particles into parallel lines of collapsed dreams

 

shackled here, counting continuous sins…

my curves beg for release from

 ink stained rooms of rotting relics

 five million screams that fall into fragments

swallowing the meaning of life

selected darkness inside night

toxic tranquility hidden in a cluster of expressions

 

my curves beg for release from

the prop me up games of life

trying to remember along the way

to simply breathe

    You had me at the first three lines. There are too many great lines for me in this to choose any one, I swear this has to be one of my new favorites. I love it, and it's as if you were in my head/heart and took what you found. So glad you broke your silence as this is really wonderful. Thanks for entering the contest and good luck!
