An Old Piece

This is one of my favorite pieces. I wrote it 3 and a half years ago. Sometimes I feel I haven't written anything later on to match its intensity.

Random Thoughts

They say time heals....
For me it keeps repeating itself....
The winds blow...
To keep my wounds afresh....
I feel my skin drying....
I see the blood flowing...
But it's all cold...
Where'd the warmth go?
Where are the hot flushes?
The laughters and the cries...
Mingle with the dead...
And become lost....
Yet life goes on......

Does it ever end?
It hasn't even started yet.
Confusion, excitement, relief...
Are they emotions?
Or are they just words?
Or pictures to see....
I watch myself live as someone else
I want to reach beyond...
And touch her...
I want to feel life...
But the images disappear...
It eludes me
I vanish into obscurity

Where am I now?
What touches me so?
What is this inside me?
Ready to explode....
It feels entrapped
Waiting to come oozing out...
Hold tight by my body...
Is it a child?
Is it a female?
Is it life?
Why are you scared?

Senses lose their presence
Wishes lose their horizons
Dreams shatter
Passions rebel
Pride falls to dignity
Who does it win?
None

Let's dance....
Let's dance to the tune...
Time engulfs us....
And life goes on......
