57. AFTERMATH

Maelstrom of thoughts,
Inspires a tornado of a firey spiral,
For the symbiosis of mind and heart,
It clots the blood even before it pumps,
Erupting from underground,
Right before the body falls apart...

The red fountain that just found,
It's way out through the fissures,
Of the crumbling existence,
One more aftershock and it will be over,
The glue that holds, I call pain,
Radiating through the skeleton...

Through the mermaid's tears,
The pearl of salty atoms,
Grained together for the next morning,
For the eyes that stay awake all night,
To steal away the sun,
Through silver clouds of moonshine...

For you to be falling,
I should have known,
For pensive drops of rain fall too,
Making a prism for the rainbow,
To cover the sky at last,
The aftermath of a storm,
Is what you are...
