Photography Artist: Unknown to Me

I Drown

Thorns of vile deception

 pierced into my troubled soul;

Infecting me

with the lurid exploits

of another’s wounded heart…

Feeling their imprisoned bars

as if they were my own trepidations,

I felt their silence…wrought by disquieted gates

of pallid nightmares.

Touching upon visions passage

 like an equinox of fear;

Ambiguity was a furtive heathen

of open shadows scathed.

Feeding upon the cautious doubts

of confidence;

Harboring contempt

like a wrath of stolen securities,

I stood frozen

within the transparency

 of their concealed thoughts.

Watching them maneuver

into obtrusive manifestations,

I was given the visor’s rein  

of their repulsions curse.

Loathing in their scars

before their quietus moments,

I bore witness

watching them wear the enmity of a mask  

filled within the erosions

 of unforgotten time.

Subjecting perils of anonymity

into the haze of resurrections cross;

bearing valedictions of surreptitious demise;

I drown inside this darkness

feeling their sorrowing hearts’ as my own.

…Thick like the revolting gallows

 of an undated trespass;

Intruding into the lucid voices

of justifications reason;

Unburied within their echoes

of remembrances;

Scorned by the stealthy life

 of a beast they cannot destroy.

…They speak…

Restricted by their continuum layers

severed into vestibules emotional stains;

their effusive echoes for me I heed;

cleansing my will for their spiritual freedoms;

shouting from the surreal of voluble darkness;

I hear them…

I am knowing…

I am an empath…

I drown…in them…

I am…
