Waking ComaA Poem by Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo
Thoughts coming around at night ..
You try to close your eyes , but something keeps them wide open Wide open … !! your lungs are wide open to the scent of pain Your mind is wide open to new possibilities … Different ones … Strange how all of this seem so familiar ! Haven't I gone through this before ?? The things you haven't touched for days ..weeks maybe … Dusted …left aside …Betrayed ….just like your eyes… That color of disappointment that embraces your irises …. Leaving nothing but flashbacks …hundreds of them … thousands of them .. Millions of them … Like a broken glass that is shattered into million pieces ! That's how those words left your heart !! Why does a flashback become your home ?! And reality is just ….another fantasy !! Maybe that's why the moon disappears for a while Maybe the moon wants to show the sun That "he" isn't always shining ! But the sun couldn't see it "she" was blinded by her own golden rays ! Is it possible??? ….my mind is lost … My eyes followed the stars ..climbed from one to another A burning picture inside of my mind Sat fire to my eyes and I couldn't sleep … The thoughts came tossing and turning Each one left its voice …and I couldn't …I couldn't close my ears … Lifeless ?? No.. I was not lifeless … But I was in my own " waking coma "… When you feel you've finally found the truth Yet you are numb … The truth could not set you free !!! The truth has thrown you into a new prison You are a prisoner of your own mind … And the key is right there …in your hands But …why are you so frightened of setting yourself free ? Why are you so frightened of saying so much , when you are not Saying a thing ? I am sleepless in my own dreams I am..Walking blindly in a waking Coma © 2014 Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo |
