TREASURE

I had kept my love

Hidden

Underneath my skull

From a time unknown.

Last evening,

When I dug the earth

With a piece of finger

And a tray of words;

To unleash a pirate’s treasure

To present it to you,

To you my dear.

With the days and nights

Sighs and whispers

Pains and wounds

Wind and breath

With the angels and demons

Fighting to leave a mark

On this tattooed earth,

Brushing their teeth

On the treasure

The gold had turned in to clay.

I hold it

In my shrinking hands,

All rustic-fragile remains

Of an ancient heart.

Smell of acrid roots filled

The space between you and me

You looked down at it

The dark mass,

Feeling disgusted

Humiliated

But you managed to

Put a smile,

Where a sad lonely moon hung

From a time unknown.

Now,

I am burying it down

Underneath my skull

Under grass of the pavements

We walked in silences

To it’s native place

Until the last piece of me

And last piece of mine

Remains.
