Precious Stones

18 FEBRUARY, 2009



:,: DIAMOND :,:



Barely alive, I was

After the holes got plugged

By booze and cheap romances



Filrtatious grins

No wanting, no waiting

Just taking



Without a single prospect

Or future

A thousand sutures



My heart, it was

It was a puzzle

Nonsensical



Flimsy but yet awake

Dormant but yet awake

Dead but yet awake



And hands that grabbed hair and skin

Snowflakes falling on her chin

Barely bare but honest



I tried not to obey the urge

Kept hand in pocket

Head in tact

INTACT



Fought valiantly for a purge

So clean, I should feel

God's touch



Til my brain got hold of my heart and it's surge

And both co-existed illogically

Each growing stronger, me weaker



I'm on the verge of breaking



:,: CRYSTAL :,:



Lay your head to rest tonight

We'll speak again tomorrow

Quiet down and sleep tonight

Forget about this sorrow



(Dream of escape

A king

A queen

A state

A crown)



Still your hands and do not shiver

The warmth is coming soon

Did you hear me scream so hard

Beneath the silver moon



I wanted so to know that night

What was in store for me

You could clearly see



I could not



So blind from dreams I saw at times

Where endings weren't abrupt

No mountains would erupt



Just shell-shock

As it set in

The constant glare inside my stare

The soldier's path I chose

Which chose me in return

No hurt

No hurt

No hurt



"And I looked, and behold a pale horse:

and his name that sat on him was Death,

and Hell followed with him..."
