COLONY OF LOVE[1] BY PHILLIP PEACE

EMOTIONS

Emotions are arrows of lightn'ng,
it makes man small as dust 'fore wind.
yet, these 'motions speak in silence;
silences louder than voices.
these emotions are shown yet not
with utterances but mutters
that only the heart understands.
but this heart is a wax; it melts
as coals of scattering fire
and if you quest to unravel
the mind, you might at times get lost
or b' mentally imprisoned cos'
the mind itself is a prison
with no doors. so on a quest, your
mind might meet scatters of brightness.
emotions are in languages:
the onion is separative
could mean i miss you and if she
says the moon is melting the ice,
she doesn't understand her friend.
and she could say what she won't say,
like: the stars are falling oceans.
the rainbow appears in my room.
the rain is growing inside me.
the precious rose is growing on
my thorn. and when she 's otherwise,
she could say what she won't say, like:
i have lost my long noon shadow.
the rain has filled this world like no
erosion does. my heart is pierced
with a steel of love and i don't
know how to bleed. then she will say
the onion is separative.
i have lost my long noon shadow.
my soul is a shedding rock whose
pebbles are soft petals of wax.

PASSION
Love is it that we seek,
and i am hiding in my eye
where i have been shattered.
isn't it the eye that ways ' the
heart — isn't it for love?
i do not need to cry because
these tears are dryness and
my tears rest in my solitude
and in my easy long'ngs.
i am like the eye of a stream
whose steam is its pride yet
its bank
is a bottle 'f sourness.
i am that ocean of feeling
that craves your indulgence
cos loving is being so foolish —
cos we are nobody
when it comes to this body of
passion. till we meet 'gain.
