LXXXIV

POISON

Triad of the heart

The spring has arrived at last

The story, revealed

Do secrets matter to us

When half are painted with lies?

It is just a curse

That life can deal with

Nothing to be scared

Or be afraid of

Yet people push it

To the very end

To its full limit

To its dark extent

It is just a curse

That they have provoked

It’s not what it seems

Like a simple thing

A curse is a bag

That people carry

As a sign of hope

And pain, and true love

Curses are blessings

That destiny gives

A test of friendship,

Faith and forever

Curses are powers

That portray weakness

That which unlocks truth,

The pure strength inside

Curses judge by pain

The long agony

The constant torture

That few have survived

Do secrets matter to us

When we are not the painters?

The pain of aging

Time wearing away

The youth that once was

A beautiful gift

The bells up above

Sound like of heaven

The faint harmony

Of resounding joy

Gazing upon them

With a constant smile

The atmosphere glows

A radiant vibe

Yet the curse hastens

The silent clanging

Rust is what remains

Of past memories

Within the dark path

Lies a hidden place

The sanctuary

Of nature’s beauty

A forest bestowed

With heaven’s power

Rainbow shades display

Ineffable cheer

Yet the curse dries up

The life force within

Death eating away

The sweet horizon

Do secrets matter to us

When we are the real secrets?

It is best to keep

The choice inside us

Realizations

Are better instead

Triad of the heart

Summer’s dawn is here to stay

And the rain awaits
