Look at the broken
They are a reflection of you
For you too are broken

Look in the mirror
Look at yourself honestly
And you will see

In that brokenness
There is a beauty that comes with it
That partners with it

To make us new

*Inspired by the quote by John Havner: "God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume."
The eyes of the sun arise
Yet every heart is still unopened
The ocean filled with water of lies

My sight gaze upon their smile
So pure, so whole, so heartfelt
Yet their metamorphosis is what hinders them from the light

Rivers of blood shadow the essence
Blade on blade
The sounding cry have reached the heavens

A sleeping lotus in my hand
Raindrops fall begging it to bloom
Yet still its petals hide away around the grandness

My peace I have sowed within the lands
Only waiting is left to withstand the parasites
And maybe one day they will understand

I stand on the temple above
With my hand close to heart
Hoping every creature would again learn to love
One day
I will break
This pearl shell you' re hiding in
And I will discover brand new side of you
And you will see completely different side of yourself.
I will prove that you're a  pearl,
My precious.
My treasure.
„But I'm black“, you will say.
„Even better, darling,
even better.
It only means you're worth more than you think.“
I feel easy shaking under my skin.
I want to jump out,
to become free!
Help me!
You know that, as well as he,
he gives life to the music
and you can give it to me.
Tonight I need space
I want to give myself to your fingers
and let you to take the best of me
like he out of  the guitar.
I don’t mind even pain,
because beauty is expensive.
Take me,
I’m surrendering  to your touch
and make place in reality
for this impossible energy
that wants to fly out of  me.
Don’t say it’s love –
just play!
a crest of brittle, foaming sea,
a wave that crashes over me;
divided with uncertainty,
You fight yourself so mirthlessly.

no burden to my heart, you see,
Your smile causes it to bleed
and pulse and beat, in quickening,
a rhythmic lift so heavenly.

an ocean where the neurons breathe,
and sifting me so perfectly,
like sands across the jagged reefs,
bending back, and cleansing, me.
Edited 6/26/15:

L3:  "splitting" changed to "divided"

L4, 6:  I also changed some capitalization to create some thematic clarity, since the title is like a universal prefix for almost all of the lines.
A thickness in air,
I yearned for
warmth and
sun.
The freeze is not
a friend of mine.
I will mosey my way
to the desert,
where I will bundle
in the hot sand,
from july to june,
that is where
I belong
I am
cold-blooded
They said,
Smile to the world
and the world will smile back to you.


So I smiled
But, you didn't smiled back at me.
