Your face inspired the letting loose of the ogres of spite <br />From your feigned naivete the silencing of a thousand flutes <br /> <br />You widened the chasm between me and my paradise <br />The gap between the eastern and western strands <br /> <br />A hint of betrayal on the whim of affection loomed <br />A raging brightness that blurs and blinds totally <br /> <br />A nuclear head riding a blazing rocket running berserk <br />Carving its imprints of quicksands and bottomless sinkholes <br /> <br />Obliterating the clam diggers and the sandpipers on the sand <br />While I lie on shore with blackened and crinkled skin <br /> <br />Bleached skull and big bones emerging from crumbly ash <br />My soul flying off without bidding goodbye from the residue<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/qualms-2/
