behind the doors
i walked into the valley -- one day
finding myself lost in the chaotic picture
distorted with its own parts
could it be an abstract -- kind of art?
but everything was so vivid
revealing its self before bare eyes
beautifully blended in miraculous lights
luxurious -- yes it was
splendidly full of colors! -- vivacious that it had become
nevertheless, the truth was just not unfolded
neither that i could ever mentioned
nor that it could be forfeited
surprisingly messed up! covered
with deceitful laughters
ignorance that i implemented
days after days, as the colors of time changed
i still wandered in the lies' circle
unaware! what a fool!
perhaps, self-consciousness had eroded
i was fascinated in my own world of confusion
then awakened by the cries that wailing where as distinction
came in place
like wolves howled under the moonlight
excruciatingly pounded the heart with sadness
what i'd seen -- what i'd heard
nothing else could be more conspicuous!
'cause it was well-defined!
from the corners of those deep brown eyes
yes! there was once a vision of paradise
but not long enough when a quake of superior love
crushed everything down to its feet
tears latently shed along the cheeks
heart struck with pain
dawn was never come again
how disastrous! and those gloomy days
had darkened that familiar face
then again, like the flow of the current -- resisted!
the feeble spirit had immersed in darkness
danced with the devil and let it sucked out his blood
vaguely, a flick of fearsomeness
.. dispersed -- would happiness ever be satisfied?
with a burning flame of rage, would it ever be quenched?
infuriated and trapped, as the world approached its extreme end
he cast himself in the tempest of the past
struggling with the invisible force -- tenaciously
'til the breath of life extinguished ..
the cries vanished!
tears dried from those forever blue eyes
but free! free at last!
i stood at the scene, helplessly
steering my curiosity and discerned behind the doors
.. was a fragile, fragile heart .. shattered!
so innocent! i trembled before the picture
asking myself
what had i've done?!
what had i've done?! ...
