| APATHY (A Prayer) Tear my flesh to pieces Scatter them Across the oceans So I might return to my depths. Burn my being in a raging fire Melt the Crimson embers Paint me into the horizon Bearing tomorrow�s sunset. Shackle my tongue Silence These clamorous thoughts Help me unfurl Into canvasses of Emptiness. Excavate my insolent Ego Ravage Her wanton ways humble me into The shadows Of tonight�s Darkness. Sculpt out my hardened heart Fracture her apathetic walls, Gush out repentant tears Into rains of Sacred tenderness. Resuscitate my dying Consciousness Kiss me with all the Fire in your Divine breath Blazing your meaning Deep into my every Sense. Engulf my illusive soul Let your kindling rays Sear me out Of the Obliterating Void Of this Blissful Nothingness. -Maliha Balala |
