Letters To The Universe Poem by Luvo Mjayezi

Letters To The Universe

Rating: 4.3


<The pages of my life I have ripped and tossed to the waters of the cosmos
I am but a sacrifice of my forefathers and those before them
Chapters I have scorched out of the earth and left it bleeding
The rawness of my anatomy has compelled my misdeeds
I am but a product of my making only to resist its nature to live in isolation
The wrath of my inadequacies turns me undone by the will of the conscious
Cries of souls torment that which holds me together, tearing the flesh off my bones
Shards of my former existence are renewed by warmth of distant rays in a dark void
Encounters from beyond direct me where will leads me astray
Voices I cannot fathom dictate the terms of my condition
Countless stars die and new ones arise
The journey to the unknown continues
This is the fate of that I am

THank You both. Sometimes words just have their own will and its hard to stop them once they start pouring.
