Seven Scars

Another old one (re-vamped of course)

Seven scars rip at the wounds

Extremities of internal inferno

Pure assumption leads to crystal waters

Drops of salty liquid fall upon faces

A stab of truth to the flesh

Piercing like a blade to the vessel

This agony is spiritual

The soul pouts in anguish

Wants becomes needs

Needs become meaningless

Only molecules of air remain

Bones brittle enough to bust like dust after touch

Skin like a thin sheet of paper

Strange observations molest the mind

They pick apart the fossil

Bit by bit

Lay your weary head, perhaps go to bed

True awakenings await

Lots of imagery focused on wounds, piercing, stabbing...very powerful. I honestly "felt" this one as I read it; sort of like a pang of crushing in the heart. The last two lines really made the poem for me---"True awakenings await"---hopefully, my friend, this is true for all of us.
