I Am Poem by Min Sia

I Am

Rating: 5.0


I am all but nothing
I am all but a shame
I am all but a lie
I am all but a prison
For those veins bursting all red
Yet bodies glowed and reined
Yet bodies have eaten the flesh of humankind
Sipping and sucking every wound aligned
Big, deep voices laughing aloud
Until those had closed their golden vault
To me that have cleansed their souls
To them I'm an acid to their bones

Frozen tails and spears have decided
Summoning the only name that should not be uttered
They began running to four corners
Of the world of fires and sirens
Bushes and thorns bleeding on their feet
Beneath the surface misted by life's feast
Commanded by the creatures of darkness
Cursed by golden swords and shields
Yet prayers were offered
By the highest fortress and colleagues

I am all but nothing
I am all but a shame
I am all but a lie
I am all but a prison

I AM PEACE...

dark imageries as if baptized by the fire of timeless truth, peace begets in your poem like a powerful serenading coda.

Highly philosophical. 'Who am I' was the philosophy propegated by a great sage by name Ramana Maharshi. India. When we put this question against every desire and craving; He said; our path would be clean of sins. Very good poem Min.10++++++
