A World Of Pain
A World Of Pain
Look around you
People wrapped in clutches of pain
Tears perch on eyelid rims
Blood dries feebly on rickety walls
Stains the soft corner of a plum lip
alike.
Screams grate against bolted windows
And fade at the threshold
of veneered houses.
And I know you think about them at night
Heart pining, soul stirring
Crippled under this weight
of a world of pain
And to this I say
Pain may dwell in stubborn shadows
But darling,
Slip your fingers in mine
Let me rain kisses over your wounds
For, caged in your weathered bones
is a warrior soul, fistfuls of sun
Let's spread the warmth, love
In this fight, you are never alone.
