Crash

Crash

A Poem by Melobldnfr
"

The tree feels my heart; Enlivens it

"
07/26/17
The tree, it feels my heart;
Enlivens it,
Brings it forth,
Breathing, beating, pulsing,
As the bark at my tips
And ground beneath my feet. 
Gears grind of not refraining to love me
If you love me.
The last pedal awaits its fall
In its overturned enchanted crystal goblet.
My soul grips at my chest:
A tidal wave of tears.
You crash,
Naught but a wave,
Tearing into my layers of solidity,
Ebb in and out
Hot and cold.
You eat away at me.
Do you not know?
How could you not?
So hungry you are,
Gnawing away at this lone wolf of rock,
And sand - beads of glass,
I can no longer stand!
Your incessant need
Screaming its insatiable refrain
Is more deafening than any blinding rain.
Were this but a book
That I may turn the page,
Or a movie
To forward the frame,
Or a game where some bishop or rook
Fiercely devoted to their service of me
Would step up without look
And prove you worthy or not
Of that which you so easily took
And tucked away God-only-knows where!
You continue to bleed dry the life line
All quartz and shiny
Beneath sun and moon.
I wane, light fading
As you crash, crash,
Crash, crash,
Crash, crash, and crash again!
Must you pride yourself so
On being the storm?
Witness what it does to you!
To me!
Do you call this free?
Do you?
Call this...
...Free?!
