Whisper Unspoken...

If only I had the power to cause a permanent

Change in the way every one is treated.

If only I could be more than just a silent whisper,

More than just a blot of ink upon a page.

If only there were worlds bowing down to my words

Understanding their wrongs and bringing about

That change that would wipe a million tears,

Cause the wind to blow with the sighs of relief

And tremble in the explosion of world-wide cheers.

If only...

But, I am just a silent whisper,

A single scratch of ink on paper,

A helpless observer in a mighty plot,

A mere puppet with many-a-puppeteer,

A ragdoll in the corner, collecting dust...

Yet!

Yet I hold onto that melting candle-wax,

That single flickering flame of hope,

Like a twinkling star shut away in the dark,

A lengthy legend of a tale untold,

A voice unheard in the multitude of roars.

26/01/15

Present-Past...

A breath in the oblivion, a space in time,

A crumpled paper, a lost rhyme,

A shard of glass, a blade of grass,

A song unsung, an emotional crass,

A watchful whisper through the night,

A dancing shadow, the tides of plight,

A searching hand, a comforting grasp,

A summer tree, a humming wasp,

A body of warmth, a heart of love,

Spirit of the night, song of the dove,

A second on the clock, a print in history,

A prayer to science, fact and mystery,

A relieving sigh, a smiling mile,

A broken crust of a crumbling while,

A dreaded hurdle, the instinctual leap,

A pulsing vein, a world to reap,

An impossibility, a living soul,

A heightened crater, an empty whole,

A mystic rhythm of an ancient lore,

A survivor, a fighter and some more...

Release me... {#ImmortalChroniclesOfAMortalWorld_5}

I can see the flame burning in your eyes

I’ve watched them watching you

I’ve noticed them wary, I’ve seen the need

You can look away. I let you go.

Go find what you seek and don’t look back

For when those eyes glimpse me

It burns, I break, I’m lost, I’m gone

I’m not what you’re looking for.

I see you seeking a distant cloud

Upon a distant land, a land forbidden

Go ahead, don’t look back now,

Please, just leave, and let me heal.

There’s nothing that’s left any longer

No further depth to fall

A slip and it’ll all be gone

Nothing left to be mourned.

I may fade into non-existence

I may just lay there still

Or I may, impossibly may,

Find the will to climb again

Find that will again to try

Find that determined foothold and leap

Into the untouched sky

I may fly...

Truly, may I?
