CLEANSING IN THE TWILIGHT

I'm cleansing in the twilight

bathing myself in the moonbeams

painting myself in nightlights of heaven

where a broken heart like mine

can be forgiven.

When I write, I let the ink bleed

because it is flowing in my pains

while the spirit is cleaning

my tears are dripping upon the pages

in the ages of me.

In my life, everything seems

so unevenly balanced, like being lost at sea,-

as the waves consume me

in a place, I call darken dreams

where it is I always hear the screams

while the ancient winds keep crying to me.

yet, this is a requirement of my poetical start

to clean up what has left me marked

deep within my heart

this is the true art

that bleeds deep inside my poetic mind.

I want to wash away those sins

I am a human, a person with true feelings

I refuse to be walked on anymore

then I already had

I know this sounds bad

I'm no longer sad

I'm mad

I had enough

I'm always being haunted

like a ghost making me, it's host

I wrote my famous lines

I suppose that means I'm doing fine.
