First breath <br /> And it hits you <br />Shivers down your body <br /> Through the bones <br />- the skin <br />- the muscle <br />shaking, shaking. <br /> rushing through the blood, <br />setting fire to your veins. <br />Like some tribal spirit <br /> Burning through the body. <br /> <br />Inside the skull, <br /> Colours swirl, twist, dive. <br />A kaleidoDope of a thousand worlds multiplied. <br /> Each more real. <br />Each smelling, tasting, feeling. <br />Senses un-Paralleled <br /> <br />Lip quivers like a arrow in flight <br />- try to talk, shaking, shaking, <br />- try to smile, shaking shaking. <br />- try to walk and you will fall <br />- try to cry and it all comes flowing out <br />lost, lost. <br /> <br />In a world so glowing, <br /> Life multiplied <br />Time multiplied. <br /> <br />Now, the sun is burning <br />Now, the children laugh <br />Now, mothers smile <br />Now, tree’s hum <br />Now, the earth is real <br /> - alive <br /> <br /> <br />Slowly fades back to grey <br />To smoke and fumes <br />To death and time <br />The celestial floats away <br />Slowly, slowly. <br />Reach out, <br />but you’ll never feel again <br />hangs in front of you like a cloud <br />calling you on <br />but you cant touch it. <br />the memory drags you by the mind <br />calling, calling. <br />try, try, try. <br />But its gone, <br />And the lack pulls you on. <br />Calling, calling. <br /> <br /> This is your life <br /> This was your world <br /> This is your death <br /> This was your earth <br /> <br />Try, try, try, <br />But you’ll never grab it.. <br />Limbo, <br />But you’ll never touch it. <br />This is now the feeling <br />Of no feeling. <br />Shaking, shaking.<br /><br />sal carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shaking-shaking/
