Painting ETSY – Zanns OriginalArt

Internal tear

Their love
is plunged by growth
of unreal expectations
intensifying thirst

with the stream of consciousness
short-lived as a rainbow
they moisten the realm of insufficiency

his arrhythmic heart
writes the last poem
full of inexpressible
self-doubts
will he make you happy
or walk away in failure?

careworn organism
mind animated
(maybe will bring the heart rhythm back)
maybe God’s surprise
from sky’s palate
will bring death into agony
give a chance to reach The Beginning

to last is to suffer
parting an apparent relief.
