Do you know Pain?

Do you know Pain?

The spirit crushed
then, by force
drawn back out
to something that resembles
its original dimension

Dents, and gentle bulges
betray the trauma,
only perceived by those
near and focused

Otherwise overlooked

‘Til after eons

The end result
cracked and marred

Draws forth recollection
of the start

The pitted, scarred
result bearing only
passing resemblance
to its origin.

(Poem) Eidelons - III

III. My happiness drains from me (what little I had) and I am a parched sponge The fierce sunlight is an oven I cannot escape Airborne dust leaves fine red welts stinging The desert is scarcely home but I can find no other The sun is no friend but I can find no more faithful companion The winds of change hold no comfort (Only pain) But behind them whispers Hope.

Nothing - 2

Nothing - 1

Nothing is what is left when everything’s gone Nothing changes when time stands still Nothing existed before the beginning Nothing stops the unstoppable Nothing fills the emptiness in my heart Nothing is something and when you don’t have much it’s hard to give up even that.
