Truth (By Mimi C. Mata) Poem by Mimi Mata

I roam barren fields
Ebony velvet descending
Seeping beneath my skin
As emotions unforseen
Send icy whispers down my spine...

I put my heart
Against a wall of my confinement
Taking in various conversation
From souls that I neither can see nor touch...

In hopes to ease my hunger for solace,
I stagger away intoxicated by poisonous fruit...

For in a fragment of my heart
A memory of light is emblazoned.

Illuminant; burning,
Where I seemingly cannot grasp...

For, I cannot dance in darkness
Or roam fields I cannot see...

'I am blind'

Acres of beauty remain barren:

Unseen...

Until truth and meaning are defined.


Dedication,
For all those finding their way through the dark...
