Black Pearls

Trace back your steps,
Back to those closed doors, 
That's where you'll find my pearls, 
The black pearls of wise tears. 

Dorment, you'll find some, 
Underneath those black rags. 
Some more in the eternity of time,
Between the incomplete  hearts. 

The iridescence of grief, 
The depths of your agony in them, 
The pain of memories ripping apart, 
The worthless void in you..... 

Only the brave can find them, 
This treasure in delusion, 
To endure the pain of walking back, 
Into those streets of afflicting acquaintance.

Only a warrior can find them, 
Who can fight with his own army,
Who can get up from the solace of future, 
And run into the throbbing fire of past..... 

You can hold onto them, 
Till your aching heart finds peace. 
And the one who went back will never return, 
A life of novelty will rise from the rubble......
