Numb

RalphLeave a comment

feeling numb in a plastic bubble
staring out into the world
one pinched the wall
peeling away the shield

rushed in were emotions:
love, passion, and freedom;
city lights and the aurora;
magic filled the air
as one held reins to affair

but also came in fatigue and pain
from battles cries and sacrifices of attrition
beauties missed and promises broken
daggers in heart, tears in shadows
sweat soaked neck, dried blood on hand

but all in all,
one lived
and one died many times.
had one not jumped,
one would not have known.

Raining salts

White, they are, falling from the sky

Not cold, not hot, just look warm
Solid, simply stays on the street.

Tiny bit by bit it falls, just as a hand of seconds doesn’t know when to sleep.

Truth is, it is salty. Ignore it and let it sit,
It will be bone-crushing heavy.

But sweat and tear will melt it away.
Where do sweat and tear come from?
