Poems Of Distress

The Beauty Of Fading Breath

Dark clouds covering the serene sky,
I stand still, amidst the damp empty road, looking at the weeping sky, feeling the cold raindrops
Hitting my skin tenderly.

Oh, ceaseless sky! Why do you look so
Ethereally vexed when you cry?
Perhaps someone broke you too?
Must be an almighty to break a diamond like you.
Perhaps you're here to console me, giving me your empathetic company...

A jarring thunder strikes the ground somewhere far away, wiping that smile off my face. My heart began racing, I fell to my knees, and I looked down, frightened, with a heavy lump in my throat. Those soul-stirring memories are now haunting me again. With my vision blurry, and this strengthless body
Denying to get up, I look up to you again.

I see enormous crows flying high together, so seamlessly perfect as if they were trained to, like an army. makes your aura look dark and intimidating as if they are going to face a war. You are their darling, after all.
Perhaps going to get justice for you and me.
Tonight, blood will be shed on those who hurt us, our souls.
They must suffer, they will! I hope...

Look how your scintillating tears are mingling with mine, that makes me smile so differently.
As if heartbreak, pain, gratefulness, and happiness were painted on a single canvas.

Now my eyelids feel too heavy to carry,
With drooped eyes, I see on my side,
Even in this storm, I can see those beautiful violet-lavender flowers, with stems as high as my dreams.
Looking like bells, those encouraging and assuring little veils, standing beholding their own beauty among all like a bride before her groom.
With ruined health, still smiling at the world. The corners of my lips move far away, my stiff and sore muscles moving with difficulty.

Don't know why, but even in this pain, I can sense an unknown comfort.
I somehow seem to love this numbness.
Now I feel why they say, that broken is beautiful too. Seems like a serendipity.

I can feel my breath slowing down,
Can hear my heart painfully slowing down, barely audible now...
Saw the last respiratory fog coming out of my parted lips.

Eyes next to closed now, the weight of my body feels too heavy to carry.
I let it be, lying down; the bone-chilling wind passes by me rigorously. The blood that was flowing out of my body washed away with your tears.
love, don't cry, I'm coming to you soon, very soon...

Now my mind is playing a recap video of my life. I saw my childhood, my teenage, my dear family, my deeds, my smile, and my despair; I saw those butterflies flying again.
Saw myself sitting in my old school bus again.
Saw myself in my worship room.
And everything just crossed my mind.
Overwhelming, so overwhelming, take me away.
I can feel my vision going dark now, the last image, my mother and father in front of my eyes; I fell asleep... Forever.
