What Lies Beneath Our Pain

The Reflection of

a lunar eclipse

on your face

penetrates a

wall of fire

creating a deep

splendour

across the sea

Our hands full

of grace waiting

for the clock to strike

midnight,

An out body

triangle beneath a

joyless encounters

blistering tears

burning in a

silent field of dreams.

On straight arrow

a lonesome heart

felt from the skies

penetrating

my thoughts

with deceitful

wounds left by

an invisible

silhouette standing

at the crossroads

Lifting his head

a firelight carried

an oldest dream

mesmerizing at the altar

between an illusion

strapped to my back

Spontaneously

I look around the years,

sweating tears

approaching, painfully

falling out touch

with reality

instantly,

they plunge beyond

compassion looking

at an empty

bottled of regrets

loosing themselves

through the

Pain. . .

Impressive, Rony. Very well written.

(Don't know if I ever mentioned that I lived around the corner in Andover for ten years — on the Andover/Tewksbury line. A wonderful part of the country.)

Deep expression of regrets in the past that seem to continually haunt your memory. Yet, beneath that pain you still manage to stay in tune and appreciate the awesome wonder of the world around you. You have that in depth mystical view of self-expression.
