Words without Eyes

Words without Eyes are filling the room
Marching around us like soldiers out of duty
Occupying corners , shutting all windows and doors
Swirling, dancing, jumping and stumping
Their grotesque shadows are covering all walls.

I want to stop them, open their eyes, make them see me
Shake them aware of my suffocating pain and grief
But they keep coming , merciless, flowing all over me
Pushing me down at any mine attempt of escape
I scream for help but my pale lips are sealed and dead.

Holding me firmly in an ice cold loving embrace
They glide over my body searching for wounds
They find one recent and slide through it inside me
Stinging, destroying, raging and devouring
I grasp for some air and slowly close my own eyes now :

Silence.

Innocence

When innocence is lost
Birds sings quieter in the garden
And flowers disclose their frail petals.

When innocence is lost
Fragrant earth becomes grey sticky mud
And waves start to scour mercilessly the shore.

When innocence is lost
The prince returns to be just one funny frog
And his Lady resembles a noisy ugly toad .

When innocence is lost
I close my eyes really tight shouting silent words
And then I sail away into the west.
