Thou shalt understand

by Karla   Jan 30, 2012


Ageless, faceless flame

I dare myself to bleed.

Thou shalt understand

my most obscure need.

A face without a face,

strong, yet not strong.

A vision breathes within

as I listen to that song.

Quivering hands write

my shadow in this shy night.

A ragged moon coaxes me

into murmuring your light.

Io ti voglio bene, my blood sighs.

I meet my echo in a reflection.

Reveal me your infinitude,

render me your protection.

Ageless, faceless flame

I dare myself to bleed.

Thou shalt understand

desire sleeping in a seed.

    Great poem hun!

    I love the rhyming - it flowed so well.

    I also love the way you spread out your lines. It makes me think that it slows the reader down rather than rushing through the poem. As if each word is supposed to be savoured.

    I also loved your words Io ti voglio bene which I had to google to find out the meaning lol but I love it when I search things to understand things better.

    Well written hun!
