the song of a thousand bells

the song of a thousand bells.
honeyed echoes of yesterday.
a drop of rain.
comes pouring forth.
history of a tale so ancient and loved.
care.concern joy promise.
and a million more to come.
it stays like that for years.
blue and white and pink and green
a game of giggles and a bout of sheen
bubbles of laughter.
lodged.and waiting.
for It to come and make them dance.
and then comes the moment of truth.
silent.real.raw and crude.
the agony of a tear's shame.
the knowledge of the inconnu.
a bundle of charm and guilt
a beached whale.
winds.waves.cream and gale.
promises all dead and gone
for things'll never be the same again.

Heartbreak hotel

Does it come with a warning? Or does it sound as brittle as the shattering of glass? Does it taste like despair on your tongue- ashen, dry and unpleasant? Or does it leave an aftertaste, bitter and nauseous? It's one thing to call yourself a beacon of strength and another to shed silent tears when no one's looking A failed attempt, and some more, and hope is washed away like by the tides of time. Corroding the light and heaping in darkness. A car Crash, a death, a black dress and mourning. is there going to be some light at the end of this tunnel?
