ARA's blog: "poetry"

Lights in the distance Screams of resistance Through my head the dreams continue Like runaway logs jumped from the flue Images of horror Coupled with humor Mine eyes have gathered the darkness And my mind turns restless Unreal images of life And distorted tableau of strife The death of innocents The mourning of lives spent Fires and explosions rend And the images bend and blend The fogs clear again As falls a misting rain Standing in a field of black roses A voice says "everyone eventually loses" Orange and blue flame sweep the field My eyes stay open to see what’s next revealed Standing on a plain of dark glass Strange colors in the sky and jumbled shapes in the distance I awake with a start Hearing only the beating of my heart
