like the blood of a massacre

[youtooellen]

horizontal arms and vertical rays
like the graph of our timeline,
you fail to discover the numbers in my heart
like the unsolved equation of heaven and hell.

we like to scrape our chairs across grey floors
like singing lullabies to a child,
and then watch the twinkling of stars
like the blood of a massacre smeared across our night sky.

but there's more to this beauty in our silence.
one day we will embrace aluminum sculptures during the night.
my heart is sealed behind a glass display case,
and your heart is seen but never touched.
sometimes it's okay to avoid collisions.

lost somewhere in between everything and everyone,
an abandoned reflection is stolen and preserved.
between the dead candles and melted ice,
his heart becomes the hero and compromise of an unknown story.

I can feel his warmth through my beautiful glass walls,
like the air that passes through my lungs.
I refuse to allow him into the blood of the massacre
you and I once smeared across our sky.
if I lost his warmth...

.. I'd strip away my glass walls to breathe you in again..
... just to breathe you back out.

Wow, that is cool. When I got to the bottom, I wanted to go back to the top to try to figure it out again. I like how you used your words there.

Now this I can honestly say I liked.

You've proved yourself to be an eloquent and thoughtful writer.

Welcome to "Dream Out Loud".

it's funny how it took me some time to write this one.
I kept re-editing this writing because I felt that the wording was too difficult to sort out (compared to the simple words I had already set in my mind)

I'm glad you enjoyed it FH

Of course, when I was writing my post....... I couldn't help thinking of Helter Skelter from Rattle and HUm........


But that doesn't take away form what I said - I meant it. (I think it just means I'm having R&H withdrawal, because I don't even like Helter Skelter much )


Yes, continue writing!
Sometimes it is better to take the time and make something nice and good. I know there is a big difference in my writtings between when I do and don't.


But we all find our own ways

I think sometimes you have to be that way, even if they don't make perfect sense. Sometimes that's the only way for me, especially with certain periods or issues...
