Asphyxia

by Karla   Feb 26, 2012


I watch your vulnerability
cracking your scales
as you run on adrenaline,
immersing yourself
in trepidation and pity.

I wonder where your inner being
might be after the last war
against your own army.
There is no victory for the doomed ones.
You were born of some powder when
Neptune was retrograde.
Will you ever understand your
soul mission as a Piscean?
She has no time left to save you.

You should have completed
your major cycle of existence
but the wheel of fortune carried
you away to the underworld
and Hades doesn't want you
to come back.

Your life has become
a ctonic rite and I can only
see you drowning
in waters of yesterday.
And while you solidify
nothingness, breathing
a lie, she cries in
my trembling hands
again.

    I always wonder how you put such strong but assimilative words together, forming an intriguing topic. It conveys; the subjects is dwelling in an unending woe. You're narrating a bitter experience of how events took on a troubling turn and seems the subject is responsible for his or her plight. You portrayed this dark topic in such a breath-taking form. A pathetic; in the sense that it arouses pity towards the subject but an awesome read overall. You're terrific Aunt Karla, stay blessed. Cheers! :-).
