Salvation

Salvation

A Poem by Kaliou

You cannot refuse the sunset.

Inevitability is the false illusion of control.

 

In chaos and calamity I find logic,

In agony and loneliness I find comfort.

Why am I here?

 

Reclaiming sanity only through rejection,

I am a prisoner of your adoration,

I defy your pagan gods,

I defy your -

I defy.

 

“I am a grain of sand in the eye of the sun”

 

Abandoned by loneliness,

Empathy was never a choice.

Embodied by solitude,

I personified love.

 

In the heart of the heart of another body

In the heart of -

In the heart.

First two lines were my favorite and set the tone for a owerfil piece! The illusion of control we all have...
Good work

"Out of confusion, as the way is,
And the wonder, that man knows,
Out of the chaos would come bliss."

Dylan Thomas

but anyway.. -in the heart- i'm love with this.

*goose bumps* my favorite lines were "you cannot refuse the sunset", "abandoned by loneliness, empathy was never a choice" and the very last bit, of course :)
