White Over Rainbows

It has been so long,

so long since I differentiated
between the noises and signals.
 
On my path to light,

I’ve shot down all the black stars. 

Left them to crumble and decay in the cosmic dusts:
they’re nothing but noises, to my heart.
 
Time is up,

light is on,

and I am ready to sail,

following the West wind, rushing,
before I am murdered by empty dreams.
 
This time,

I allow my tears falling, in the rains.
And learn to smoke the pains
without getting high in furiousness.
 
This war isn’t between me and the surrounded dark forces.
Rather, it’s a ‘fight-to-death’ episode of my angel and demon.
 
Now, I have chosen wings over fire

and decided to paint the sky in white over rainbow colours.
 
“My son, don’t cry!” God said.

A life that’s written on a white paper

will be lonelier than those under the sparkling nights.
But it’ll be alright,

alright — because I seek the ‘truest’ star,

in spite of million scars on my chest.
 
“Please, don’t despite all the worldly beauties!” she begged.
The girl that is as lost as I used to be.
 
Too late.

Now, I’ve cleansed myself in the snow.

I’ve already found answers in eyes of heavy storms.
