Under The Heart Of Trees

Under The Heart Of Trees

Chemically speaking
I don't fall for carbon copy
smiles nor beautiful stories about
successful lives
above the tropic of cancer, truth
is a figure of speech
a desolation of emaciated bodies parading
the mucus of lies as if
pearls and oysters

Happiness roots it self under the heart
of trees. Trees we fail to understand, believe
are being replaced by clean, sterile
likenesses as smiles and people are, will
soon all be drowning in the depths of Hades

Before I see my reflection
on those waters I will walk and search for
a meaning one can press between his fingers
touch the core of its imperfect, crude image
so it can become the apple, the peach – literally
speaking – that I shall eat.

    1. It's just a piece of reflection on some concerning issues. It's difficult to express such things without being too vague or too specific. I find it awesome that somehow the reader gets a bit of a feeling.
      Thanks, dear CAa ;
