persephone | sonnet twenty eight posted by imani , Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 4:45 PM, in Labels: ars poetica

there are worlds to be seen without the
embrace of one, excise the faults
out of wounds we have given, extract the tears
from each other’s flesh and discover

yet among discoveries a gist of truth and
a trace of laughter that hymn the loneliness
of my veins and bones, with sadness
the space widens and in it i gravitate,

our souls halted in babel, our blood found
a harbor in the reminiscence of lost moments
bruised and battered by the sigh of an

ancient yearning, its roots gnawing deep
unto my ground, there are worlds to be seen
never without the embrace or eyes of one ~ you.
