An Ekphrasis, lightly. The image source: http://fedeporpy.deviantart.com/art/Kintsugi-483304360 "Kintsugi"
If it weren't for the shimmer
the hope imbued sun-seeking sublimation restoration from darker hues,
If it weren't for the beauty
of strength and self honor a course set for discovery of the light behind the pinhole sky,
If it weren't for the scorn
I'd also show a man creating tapestries from black bear fur strands,
If it weren't that my reflection
also shown through the cracks the light fractured mirrors I am both sides, if you'd asked;
If it weren't for the truth
that angels could tell the story of recovery a rescue mission to hell...
I'd soon apologize,
because human I may be I'm sorry I'm not the monster the stories wanted me to be.
Instead of empty white space
stillness in a moment missing time I earned my gold shimmer I learned would be words offering solace.
I will say I learned love
from creating something new of pieces I found scattered once those eyes were mine too.
Visions and dreams
cultivate over time I'll reciprocate the best ones to build from what's gone by.
If you hadn't to speak
I wouldn't have known so the anger subsides in the words that you've shown.
So instead I would thank you
my soul still inside this man, you see a life I'd lost too, I'll make it the best I can in your time my ghost stood by you; away from body, I could but just stand.
I promised for my truancy,
I'd curate golden exhibits; and seek striving to rend. If there were violence, that would be what I'd end. |
