Tears and Blood

by Khalid M Darwish   Jul 11, 2012


Lost in your nightmare!
Haven't you found me there yet?
Under your sky of dreams, I'm over there,
raising my hands, your touchable kindled flares!
C'mon! Don't search for an illusion in the dark
But look above the columns for my spark
I have been the light for your life!
If you reach a river of tears
mixed with ruby blood
of a deep wound
you left open
that's me!
My tears
which you shed
mean many things,
things you couldn't stop
My endless loneliness
Losing the beloved
Being ever-lost
And many...
As a result
I need a knife
for a less harmful suicide
Or wish if never been born
My tears are very painful
My many deep wounds
the never coalesced
All these things
for I wanted
to share
Love
The price is too high!

    I can relate to this poem on many levels, and I think it applies to all relationships. It also has an air of religiousness around it, meaning it can also mean a spiritual relationship. Your metaphors are wonderful and appropriate. I like the line where you explain how you are a river amidst a wound... very expressive.

    "means many things,
    things you couldn't to stop"

    ^ 2 grammatical mistakes here though. "means" should be "mean" and "to" shouldn't be there.

    But overall, this has been a pleasure to read. :)

    I love the shape too!!! But for me I saw them as tears. Endless running of them, and they were getting more heavy.

    Great images in this piece!

      Thanks a lot! The more you go down the heavier woul be tears and the higher would be the price! Oh My God! You have just guided me to a new quote, haven't you?
      I guess you got my point! Thank you for the kind passing.

    I'm speechless for the shape of the poem.
    It looks like hearts going inside one another.
