Of Stitches and Burns

The ceiling stared at me

Unblinking, slowly enveloping me
As I hear my heartbeat
Contemplating, lying in my forlorn bed
Yet the ceiling sees my agony
Searing, thru my own eternity
Unmuted, the whiteness of the ceiling clear
Understanding without me explaining fear
Sympathizing on my silent whimperings
O! Ceiling ... Wished you'd carry the weight on my wings

I sided on my left
The wall embraced me so abreast
Almost feeling my breath
So close to the walls' caress
Four inches away my face against the wall
Telling me to go ahead... Cry and let it fall
The tears rolled down on my left of cheeks
Silently the wall intently watched so quick
Together, ceiling & the wall heard my sobs
The wall almost pounded with utmost throbs
I laid on my back and there the ceiling saw
The redness in my eyes ...
The vestige of tears
With marks, slow to heal
Poems they said are all unfinished
Like this memory carved not missed




-MAC
(You taught me to experience the bliss of muted ecstasy - witnessed by the ceiling and walls, with eight corners opposite each other to form the so-called "Room")
