Imperative Death

by Lu   Dec 28, 2010


My deepest thoughts,
unveiled the suffering
of ancient memories
inscribed in tattered dreams.

A time when verse,
drenched in somber ink
fell silent beneath reflections
of the raven's wings.

In the aphotic voids
between sun and moon,
I began to weave
star dusted fairy tales
upon dying petals.

Suddenly ...
Passages opened
where portals once stood
- unmovable-
Shapeless existence
began to form structure
and reason.

Immersed in salty waters
of realization,
I knew - I must die
to awaken a life
-worth-
resurrecting.
