Cloak Poem by Lubna Hazeem

A shiny blade strikes the shedding shades
Pouring down the blood of a knight's veins
Releasing his soul from a trepanned hole
Allowing it to dwell in some sacred flow

Shadows of cavalry roam around my thought
Hollows of bravery are longing in the dark
Stings are traveling in the back of my neck
Hymns are gathering in our softened breaths

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it on your lips
Quivering underneath sadness

I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it as they drip
Shivering underneath blankness

Though i am wearing the cloak
That smells of striving hopes
Oh, now im wearing the cloak
That's formed of wounded crusts

An offering of belief
The scar of eternity
and always will be

A re-birth of sacrifice
The heart of paradise
And always will be

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in those pits
Savoring down the loneliness

I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it as they flip
Savoring down the loneliness

The skies are turning grey
Our lives are burning away
The heat of the strongest blaze
Might reach the farthest place

It could be the flag to join
All of our weakend points
It could be the unknown vibe
To spread and unify our minds

It could be the voice
That lingers in noise
It could be for us all
It could be for us all
A kingdom to behold now!
