PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

faltering at the line of a new sight

no fear just a mild trepidation

not sure if the right foot is forward

hesitant to ask formerly unheeded questions

yet I smile thinking I know why

suspicious of the lack of dismal days

wondering when it all will end

illuminating light seeming far from seeing

due to old eyes adjusted to permanent night

using informal methods of surgery

old eyes are carved out

discarded as failing waste

replaced with vision unseen

light available through these new eyes of mine

feeling freshly redeemed

and what do I see?

one radiant queen with the perception of a thousand dreams

and a cane of strength and reason

to beat away the sickness inside me

weakening the heart until it nigh implodes

a weakness I endure with a smile

a desperate struggle to revel in this fountain

knowing not when it will run dry

or when its waters will turn ruddy and acrid

I revel nonetheless

a paradise found within anothers breath

a heaven found within the heart beating in anothers chest

an experiment in terrifying joy

but my heart is not a toy

it cracks and splits

bleeding out

smiling eyes replaced with sorrow

for this is the way of my world
