Poems from Chantilly
Bruised petals flutter to the ground
In a silent wind, twirling in endless circles.
Unsure whether to lay them to rest
Or carry them across...
Voices snarling, guttural and uglyI feel the challenge riseCalling in anger, for bloodBut too weak, obliterated by stronger hateFear...
I wish I could say:My world stopped,
Everything frozen.
Refusing to move
To accept impossible truth
I wish I could say:
I’d run after...
Brain scatters into
Million Directions.
Raindrops breaking
Into shafts of lights.
Creating colors, so splendid
It hurts,
Beautiful and...
Hiding from the world
From its prongs and thorns
Cowering inside myself
Open my eyes and blinded
Protected from endless pain
It’s safe in...
