Sheen (A collaboration)

A collaborative work with Aaeedah aka Ceriua.

I am profoundly grateful for her kindness and humbleness for collaborating with me.

Her works stand out for her brilliance, her epic style of thinking and writing foremost her keen interest as a seeker of spectral knowledge makes her wiring unique.

Sheen

As black as the charcoal,
Tantamount to shimmery calmness,
These when given perchance
Smothered to give the belligerent eminence.

.

Our reveries
Burnt down to numb, frowned ashes.
Contemplated musings
Rise up as rusted-red, glittery yellow flames.

.

This black beauty
Espoused many dignitaries.
Ardent zeal for the fuel
Caused ordeal of disharmony.

.

We burn
Underneath the canopy of worldly
Conventions, lacklustre rejections.

.

The nature cries at their,
Shambling incense,
Burning their morals and conscience
Their lustre succumbing to ashes.

.

Brittle scowls, porous screams go unheard
Until hollow darkness swallows
our dead wishes’ remains.
Until our souls turn to cold, dark charcoal.

.

The odyssey of life,
We ace the superficiality
But lies in the heart of charcoal .
The priceless, that was,
moulding and transforming
Throughout these ages.

.

Now we shimmer,
Sublime, crystal dead souls with no hues.
Voiceless voids in grief-stricken bodies

.

Underneath the canopy of worldly
Conventions, glamorous exceptions .
Choked, tangled perceptions
Enclosed in scarlet, black just coffins
Marked by desires, lust and greed.
We shimmer,
In the name of diamonds.

.

The diamond from the
Amorphous carbon,
Voicing the enigmatic tale,
Pellucid human being,
behind the glitzy wall
Pervicacious, furiously
tasting this insatiate greed.

.

Among these, it wasn’t the carbon
But equivocally, human bleed.
