Artificial Coma

Title was given to me by a good friend of mine Pam.

The flowers we planted need to see the sun today
So unravel the sheets and wash the stains away
Off your sweet skin, step out of the lay
The flowers we planted need to see the sun today

The pretty birds you caged we need to let free
Before the pretty birds cage in you and me
To the place where light is lost no day
The pretty birds you caged we need to let free today

What is this artificial coma I see you have embedded?
When I can feel the springs of the mattress drilling into your lifeless bones
I hear your silent lip trembling as the voice shrills and moans
What is this artificial coma I see you have embedded?

Is it where your home is? Or are you a little lost?
Is it sweet and sunny there or just rain and frost?
I haven’t seen you for quite a while
All I want is to see you and to see you smile
I haven’t touched your skin
Will you ever break the artificial coma and let the world in?

    knowing the plants that we planted need some sunlight, not to get fungus,
    knowing the caged birds of our countries will cage us without ambush,
    knowing the difficulty, we too moan and tremble in confusion,
    we are still in the artificial coma and we have to wake up and smile.
    Nice to read!

    I am awe struck by your reach. Mellifluous and melancholy. Soft and yet so hard hitting. Gentle yet biting sharp. Sunny yet bitterly cold. It is almost certain to me that you have seen, met her, talked to her, not just over a cup of coffee or a couple of beers but you have grown up with her. As a sibling, a neighbours kid, a best friend, an old pal, you have known life and this poem is a testimony to it.

    I fully agreed with Saadat and L.P.alexanders. It's really a beautiful poem, probably the best one I have read this morning, constructed so well in a real artful and delicate manner. Well done, Sara...10/10.
    Best Wishes.
