#Poem | GEM … by Prince Ekpemandu [@wilDEE__]

GEM

She sat near a pool of brownish waters,

Perplexed by her own reflection.

The wind tender on her hair,

Tossing it eastward,

Drying her imbrued face,

From days of sobbing.

Leaving dull lines that stretched,

From her pale eyes, down her haggard dress.

She never wore a smile,

As brilliant as the sun.

They only burnt, her.

Re-awaking her tears,

From their subtle base,

Beneath her eyes.

She considered them, a tragic representation of her life.

She decked her face with cowardice,

Never regretted, nor did she skid addle from it,

The lies she once told herself,

They were now, dreams she woke up to, now and then.

Expressionless, she sat

On cold dead grass.

They sent chills to her bones.

Her mind hovering through the empty space,

That is her own schema.

And the world that lies beneath her bruised nose

Was covered in blood and fear,

The stinch of terror,

Quite familiar to her.

They were like marks on her back.

They stayed with you for a life time.

Misery was something she owned,

They burnt in her dark brown eyes,

You could see their claws lashing restlessly,

Drawing those who cared for a scare.

The tears that flooded her garment,

Jogged the memory of her own consciousness,

That she still did feel something.

Something painfully passionate,

Something, “realer” than her fragile image.

Those tears were reminders,

Reminding her that she can still think.

Think of events that stole

All the life she knew,

Will ever know.

She stood at the edge of destitute.

As hard as it was,

It brought her solace.

Her hope rises in the east,

Setting west with the sun,

But she seeks no remedy.

An audience at least.

To applaud her misfortunes,

And share her grieve.

An audience atleast…
