Zayra Yves: Poetry
Empty as Nirvana
BY NOW THE LIGHT HAS FADED
The holy rage has gone down
with the sun of anger
and the story of enlightenment
is writing your name
through a sliver of moon,
so in this moment of reflection
the ashes of burnt hearts
are carried by the wind
to settle in the deep waters
of the unborn.

FAITH
I don't want to forget your name
yet, easy as the new wind
the first syllable billows into air
lost in the repetition
of water.
Already I wish to fly
on the single sound of you
that escapes me
before it dives into a hush
and sinks in the sea
of ruins.

ABLUTIONS
I need you like the rain
to fall into the shrine
of my chest where my heart
sits in flames, burning
from too much of this
world, too much of this
pain, burning with desire
to feel the flowers
of love bloom again.
