the skies are bruised.
the dancers, removed.
look at the blood we have spilled.
look at the love we have killed.
i wear this crown of shame
for all the broken hearts
and the blood gets into my eyes
for your broken heart.
paint the skies in crimson tonight.
paint our silence in love tonight.
for all the things we don't understand
for all the times we are misunderstood
for all that we have lost
paint a heart in crimson tonight.

amzing poem from amazing person
paint our silence in love tonight...
I loved the ease with which the poem flows....
I wish I could keep you from drowning in that blood, but only you can learn to swim.
nasra- XOXO!!! :)
amalendu- i'm glad you felt the flow, its a tad tumultous and the beat is disjointed but that is because of the emotion portrayed.
i feel love is a colour as it imbues all that it walks through and it has so many hues.
mermaid- yeah .... not easy when you don't know how to. :) thanks sweets!
the words have a kind of brokenness to them, as if they come from some very dark, painful place.
very lyrical as I read it again

I have read it couple of times and yet it hits me everytime with more velocity; perhaps because you were too much in sync with your self while writing it.
I had written a few lines sometime back:
everyone,wishes to be understood
but no one wants to understand
when...?,
when would I be the other one?
wish someday you be on the other side, with the crimson painted on your cheeks and your heart all blue.

illyria - there are rooms inside of us, dark and scary, which are kept looked away for that very reason...:)
nasra- you silly girl, why should i be angry for that...i'd only be every angry with you if you were to ever visit India and then not see me, then i'll surely kill you. :)
