Roses Incomplete | Softeness Enshrouded | Primal Soul

Fahd Butt December 27, 2005

[roses incomplete]

i’ve been told
to follow dreams
of others

when will that day come
when dreams cease
and we live in one moment?

i’ve been told
how to live life
what to believe
be water flowing down a path

now how do i become
life without faith
a
leaf that doesn’t float with the wind
or water that goes against the river?

i’ve been told
to listen to the rain
covering all dreams
with glistening pain

how i yearn
to twirl in circles
till i fall down
in esoteric refrain

i’ve been told
what to keep in my heart
and how to
embrace

the inevitability
the roses incomplete
frozen torches of darkened souls
my message remains
hidden from me


==============

[softness enshrouded]

what is it in us
that makes us forget
the sweetness of it

how full of cravings
and secret sinning
with softness enshrouded

where lies our weakness
when encompassed are we
with imperfection complete

what is it in us
that makes us forget
the sweetness of it

===========

[primal soul]

I draw myself
the beauties of sleep
the wonders of Andromeda
and fortunes of pearls

the swirls of mystics
form the galaxial rules
why is the primal soul
enshrouded in chrysalis?

when blue butterfly morphs
and nymphs retreat
disguised in myths
our apocalypse approaches

===========
===========
