Shout 'Til We're Deaf

 

 

We light candles

to hide from our dark.

But wicks will fray, 

cinders dissolve, fade.

 

Instead

learn to decipher comfort

from the mysteries of the night.

Massage the crevices

of Obscurity's folds.

Ferret out miseries, pathos.

 

For in this lightless expanse

even blemishes can frolic freely.

Impurities naked, 

teeming with 

being.

 

Break in the demons

that they may dance with 

impunity.

Stomps like hearts 

In unity beating.

Howls entwining the dusk,

sating the void

with truth that can free us.

 

Take my hand

and let's shout 'til we're deaf, friend.

It's easy to scream

When no one can see us.

A beautiful string of words,

A beautiful string of words, and I absolutely love the flow of it. Through and through, your words feed energy to the reader. Certainly to this one. Pristine.
