Change -IV

They
Who worshipped
Discovered myth
In their belief
And rejected their religion
I was stranded
In my temple.

Change – III

They
Who taught
Dignity and respect
Began lusting
For nakedness.
I was asked
To strip,
I did.

Change – II

They
Who considered
Hate to be a taboo
Learned to hate.
In their eyes
I diminished, into point blank.

Change – I

They
Who loved
Began to not love.
Things changed,
Fast enough
before my eyes.

Light – III

The sun shines too bright
On my latent dreams
The day doesn’t pass
And the night doesn’t come
I wish, sometimes
I could throw stones at the Sun
And splinter it
like it worked with the streetlights.
It doesn’t work that way, does it?

Light – II

For a while now
Clouds have taken over
They don’t rain
Just stay
Between me and my sky
I want my stars back
my lights, scattered
over a dark dreamy night.

Light – I

Every night
I close my eyes
dreaming of lights
Twinkling, dazzling, glittering.
Every night instead,
Lightning strikes,
And I wake up
shattered within my nest.
