Uncanny

Uncanny– A Tapestry Poem

How do you keep coming up
with what I am thinking of?

Are you reading my soul
connecting to some energy beyond my lips −
a place outside of understanding
where two people in love
meet on an unseen plain
communicate unlinked thoughts
into the other’s mind?
                                                  – Avril

The light was eerie, the road unknown
my steps dragged without my will

as if from the city of the dead
came voices, regretful and heartbroken  

onto my path they slithered
“Return to the living with this message –
drown enmity, let peace prevail
though agents of violence, 
we plead for non-violence.”
                                                  – Shernaz

Tapestry

The light is eerie, the road unknown
from a place outside of understanding
come voices, regretful and heartbroken  
as if from the city of the dead.

Like two people in love
meeting on an unseen plain
onto my path they slither
connecting to some energy beyond my lips 
communicating unlinked thoughts.

My steps drag without my will.
In my mind I hear – 
“With this message return to the living.”
Are they reading my soul?

“Drown enmity, let peace prevail
though agents of violence,
we plead for non-violence.”

How did they come up with
what I am thinking of?

                                                 − Avril & Shernaz
