unfinished | sonnet two posted by imani , Friday, October 21, 2011 at 1:22 AM, in Labels: ars poetica

the earth washed away now reveal
only brambles that hurt
flowers and flight have faded
and we fight for seconds

that offer synapses, moments
lost in midst, taking a step back
away from the fire, away from the
things that broke

my faith, from the hands that
caused my heart its bruises,
from the voices that scarred

what was left of my spirit,
from the ashes that gave birth
to an eternity of tears.
