Like beads of pearls
scattered on a polished
marble grounds, my
soul disintegrated into
thousand parts unknown,
scattered, knowing that
cancer of rage has spread,
the lumps of gloom are
growing, I a scavenger
picked on the left-over
carcasses once a
live breathing body
where blood flew like
streams of Tigris
now lay blue, cold
limpless, still pieces
have to be sorted-out
sown delicately like a
Necklace of pearls,
worn on dark evenings
to hide gaunt neckline
devoid of any bloods
of forefathers, where
once flew gushing
streams of Tigris….
So vivid!! Love it!!
Thanks a lot Bill, winters always casts clouds of gloom and rage but I try my best to stay happy and humour, it’s a struggle though!
I completely understand Tanya…I so get that.
But whatever life throws at us, harsh-weather, bad relationships shattered dreams but we have to keep marching on keep that precious smile on😊isn’t!!
That, my friend, is exactly right!!!
🙂
😊
Deep and thought-provoking. Will the flows of the Tigris resume or will the glory of the necklace beads fade away?
Pearls and diamonds will always stay my friend, Tigris’s will come and go diamonds and pearls are here to stay. On serious note winters always have the worst of me, the rage and gloom comes to surface but I try to smile and be happy 🙂
Like a true diamond and pearl you are. I trust each night you have the warmth and love you deserve to weather the cold. Each morning brings a new day and the warmth of the sun along with the warmth of words and embrace of others. 🤗
