A poem begging of forgiveness
A chapter in the book Sewn Into the Sky
Tears of a Rose
by GregoryCody
How do you raise your voice to a rose? Rush to accusations as if blaming the blue for a setting sun. Misery sleeps inside my eyes, only to focus when apex hits; Anger under pain shoots from my gaze like flaming swords— Poor passersby quickly get blisters like pregnant cherries; Barks bounce through the air against pleads that fires would fade. Fearfully, I shut my covers and speak blindly, sadly absent beauty. Apologies are trivial, if repeated like the chorus of a forever looping song. Feet bound with a band of thorns stabbing, Her legs stumble to a wobble—dreams of fleeing feet left months ago. Staple a bloated tongue to the dripping ceiling; falling acid; Seal poison lips with caramel paste, trapped shut behind taste ever sweet. Hammered nails in fingernails caked with mud; an ache pumps my crying heart— Cursing commands, barking replies, thunder boom screams—a naked ambiance. Laughter leaps far like a leaking balloon when the descent falls atop my breath. Angry melancholy bellows arias constantly within our midnight concerts; chalk cinderblocks chomp down upon complaints hours late; mere moments drift into regret as softly as smoke to a breeze. Soon, memories bounce back, like rubber orbing attacks against a metal wall— Words pop, splay, shotgun voice; digging in skin as steel screws into butter plywood. Regret absolute as I feel my way to appreciation once more; Amused despair vies to paralyze my climb; lining my spine with boulders. Typically defeated, invisible I, the ant, have battled a sleeping hawk. Hope: a bug to heaven's Goliath, silenced pain will giggle with her again. Lift patient arms from the swamp under my rain collection; built filth— Rinse the face of my heart, Scrub ugly from her mud-splashed chest, Pluck barbs from delicate arms And embrace my immaculate destiny. I beg to Hold the wet railing of our commitment; my carry through— I vow to sing to you everyday, once more and always again , Perfectly in love through the voice of my life's gratitude. Whispered kiss unto my rose... |
When in pain and angry to the world it can sometimes be the ones you love most that feel it. A true regret...
