I’m here by myself

The winds blow
inside me hollow
I collect
lost pieces
The knowledge they’re gone pierces
through my intellect

Knowledge pact
Three strikes before act
Theater
the store front
I have shadows to confront
bleak and sinister

I stand still
The morrows shape stark
watching odds
mismatched Gods
There is something in the dark
a fear to instil

My wounds flow
into the darkness
melded glow
to harness
The scars golden kintsugi
reshaped frame of me

Illusion
withers from my sight
eye offers
keen insight
isolated from others
waiving confusion

Bosom’s sigh
I’m here by myself
Head held high
hope in chest
I need no external help
All woes put to rest

Sion - Alone

Ever uprooted

Break my back
contour me yellow
Sum me up
Sun me down
Funnel me through the dreamtime
flowing and mellow

Steer me through
madness of the times
where only
my pale rhymes
lift me through the coursing fires
of will that transpires

Ill-suited
midnight owl hooted
Eyes to skies
toes recant
Face and feet on upward slant
Ever uprooted

Screaming out aloud

Ethereal
construct of machine
my memories
wiped so clean
I grapple with loss of real
arbitrary seal

Man no more
nor woman to see
images
slowly flee
areas of me flouted
through cables routed

Hum through me
I remember times
when my ghost
drummed up rhymes
I walked in a saddened crowd
Screaming out aloud

All blood same red lace

Harbinger 
of erased nation
A death toll 
on both sides
leads nowhere as the fear rides
to uneven poll

the clock strikes
unequal death chimes
we surmount
the war crimes
our memory a closed tap
bodies our minds wrap

Live cocoons
shelter vivid thoughts
unwilling
uncaring
we see not what then transpired
as thousands expired

Fed through spoons
weather-beaten words
Flimsy talks
forceful walks 
to the other side of hope
a yearning to cope

Warning call
lost time to recall
regret stitched
intimate
within layers of the brain
lesson to retain

The legs pace
unknown surfaces
riddled lanes
absorb pains
of humanity’s disgrace 
all blood same red lace
