The Bleeding Soul On A Looking Glass Poem by Abhay Vignesh Liginlal

Break, break and let me break myself
From this cycle of ages and night
Let me trade with the dust of eternal time
These sparks and hours of glory;

Break, break and let me break myself
From these chains of heart and reason
Let them melt in the fire of darkness and death
These dreams and sorrows of life;

Break, break and let me break myself
From the pain of life and death
Let me dip in the stream of salvation
The garb of life of this walking soul;

Break, break and let me break
These tools of mindless fancy
Let me trade with drops of wisdom
These words of verse for fame;

Break, break and let me break
From the clutches of anguish this red badge
Let me leave this blind pursuit of glory and fame
For one valiant death in a worthless war.
