Requiem
for Love Forbidden, left behind
By Zarina Dara (psiloveyou.xyz/@zarinabraybrooke)
This town, this town has strewn my heart —
its ragged fragments smeared across
the melting tar and asphalt
scorched by February’s sun.

sneaking poetry into the corners of the day, and telling stories to myself in grasp of sanity.
Inside…
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
– Carl G. Jung

My story published in Resistance Poetry at Medium.com:
The core of the day
envisions what
lies above
the acme of temerity:
undiscovered
undeciphered
unfathomable
festering
Glee…
I keep it under
layers of boiling
lava
and grope for it
with bare hands.
With burned fingers
and asbestos hearts
We receive response
from the insouciant night:
the indigo skies glimmered
with stars
and the trees and grasses
slaving
for the summer wind.
