Simplicity

The shimmering seas

beneath the glass sky

induce a revelation.

The translucent stars

bleed with faint light.

Dark frigid waters

press heavily upon my skin.

Frost forms

on my languid body.

Black clouds gather

and all light is destroyed.

In my head

thoughts race;

augmenting their speed

as each new second dies.

Stagnant air

fills my lungs;

toxins run rampant throughout my body.

At the brink of death's hand,

my freedom is procured.

Archaic complexity

bombards the ripples.

Lifeless limbs

gently caress the water.

Autonomic spasms

release the rage.

Aged eyes bleed;

black tears of blood

fill this shallow pool.

I rise,

from the forsaken ashes.

I am born anew.

Frozen damned tears

snow down from dying hearts.

Morbid souls

become trapped in this wasteland.

I traverse the terrain,

as if it were solid rock,

and I have nothing but ease.

Liquid air

erodes steadfast dreams.

Moonlight shines

through my transparent soul

and my iridescent stare

pierces through my bleeding existence.

I love all your poems Tony : P but there are some really great one-liners in here : ) for example: "The translucent stars bleed with faint light." and "Archaic complexity bombards the ripples.", for some reason i really like these two lines. P.S., i still have a note your wrote me in German you never translated : P

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
