Withered feathers of sacred shadows.....

In the distant lost islands
Of forbidden speech…


Expressions murmured into lips
Of unspoken truth…


Swept into the strangled warfare
Of thoughts and words…


Human entity camouflaged 
Into its outer realms…


Entangled in conscience…
Bound by the rusted chains of fear
Of humiliation…


Silenced by truth 
Held by strands of realization…


Words no longer remain words…


Distant, dreaded, blackened anonymity 
Confronted…


Dusted tornadoes of past 
Washed by breath 
Of transience…


Expressions take form…
Moments of scattered weariness 
Flow into the waves of intimacy….
