A Sudden Revelation Poem by Nestor David Armas

Smiling as I hop
Into my ride,
Seems I have
Nothing to hide,
Truth my heart
Tattered, callous,
Of love unworthy
Treacherous,
I pop in the first CD at hand,
So used
It's scratched like sand,
The rhythm
Gets a hold of me,
Gliding me
Into another reality,
The words
Stab at my heart,
A bull's-eye
With each line a dart,
Salty tears
Stream from my eyes,
Bloody taste
To my lips a guise,
Masochist is I
As the tracks play,
The flogging continues
As I parlay,
To listen
Until the very end,
Peace to my soul
May heaven send,
The memories of you fresh,
In my mind,
Several a mesh,
Blinding me
From the realization,
You are gone,
A sudden revelation.
