Anxiety in Poetry

Teardrops
Cave in the skies
Outlining the prosthetics
Crippling this optical silhouette
Disturbing the beauty
Of this hollow night
Trying to find a star
The jagged edge scar
Surfacing
Watching it bleed
As the heavens
Close their eyes
Leaving the moon to be our only grace
The savior of our face

A drop of blood
Dyes the clot
From which the firmament rots
Memories try to hide
When fallen eyes become blind
Erase the mistakes
Change this fate
Distorted
Unrewarded
Inside the lives
Even our camouflage hides

As the rain
Echoes the beats of
This dying heart
Deliver this dust
From a life of rust
Reveal the disguise
The shadows don’t recognize
Discover the dreams
Refusing to be received

The water evaporates
Entering celestial sights
Rearranging genesis
To describe an hour of sand
Creating the majesty
The throne of mountain skies
Watching a shooting star
Reproduce what they are
Patience
Healing in love
Open your eyes
As the moon fades away
To the dawn of light
The beginning of another era
Where darkness recedes
And light can be
