The Shock of Deep Revelations

Abstract hazel eyes,
             intensity in a disguise,
                             sincerity inside a surprise- 
                 barren hands...
                                  whispering startling lies. 

When the time of death expires,
do not fear, 
for even in the times of unknown
speech sincere words can resound-
I need not days of retribution, 
just moments of clarity.
I fear not congruency, 
yet stumble upon 
            cramped prisons,
caught in the obscurity 
                         of an asylum.

When the time of death transpires, 
I ask for peace of mind-
for even in the most difficult minute, 
I shall fear nothing…
                except the shock of 
                deep revelations. 
I wonder and ponder, 
creep and squander, 
and in the most astonishing 
breakthrough, 
I sense the fear amongst the hands
that hold faces that stupefy and stun. 

When the time of death feeds 
my desires, 
amazement and bewilderment
seep from my veins, 
like an intravenous needle prick-
dripping down into oblivion.
On the floor I fall with my hands
over my face,
wondering why I ever thought...
                          I could be loved at all.
