an open prison

it's been a while since I've written anything, so this is just a humble free verse that came to my mind to express some negative energy that is rising inside me.

A maze of rage unriddled to peace,

 NO, not yet it won't!

the veins are still clogged with questions;

the face still plastic in perfection

where hands are wrinkled with frosting deficit;

the veins are still clogged with questions.

No clock, No seconds, No time

shall unclog the questions,

she needs oxygen of another planet to freshen up

she'll climb to stars if she'll have to.

No dreams,No hopes, No faulty imaginations,

the hazy truth is floating around,

while everyone is blinded by sluggish,

flecks of mumbling thoughts are imprinting the maps of

resolution from within:

she'll fight the ordinary and settles for the unknown

for she may embodies freedom in the unknown.

I especially loved the next sentence: 'the hazy truth is floating around'. It's never easy to find the truth in a place that is full of questions, a haze of answers that are floating in the air or in our mind. Is their place for a little bit of hope in this world or do we have to search it elswhere, another planet?? It's very deep. Well done.

Really enjoyed the flow of this poem from line to line. Kept me interested from start to finish. Good work. :)

Sounds like the lament of some poor soul questing for something, perhaps the peace of that region of the world which I'm aware has suffered some grave chaos over time and a great deal of political bitterness has existed for some time since Algeria threw off the shackles of French Imperialism only to experience the divisiveness of the political gulf that imperialism over time has wrought and is the shame of what was the colonial system. It was quite sad and disheartening in some respects, and yet a resounding declaration that the author is determined and ever questioning, ever seeking the answer that might allow her to experience the serenity she longs for and the elusive peace and freedom the writer seeks. The imagery was beautiful the words timeless and unyielding. I very much enjoyed reading it.

Quite an existential rant. Interesting imagery and use of language.

[Michael (Letters and Li..]

Very deep poem. I love the flow and the repetition like "No clock, No seconds, No time" - It really drives the anxious feelings home! :)
