When I close my eyes
I hear this sound
Like a lullaby
Faint and distance
Sweet smells of nostalgia
Resilience
When I close my eyes
I taste these memories
Like how the sun dies
Mournful and Longing
Knowing by faith
Belonging
When I close my eyes
I feel this calling
Like the sunrise
Spirited and Near
I exhale encumbrances
No Fear
like porcelain shavings
her skin began to crack
like a feather floating on thin air
she's losing strands of silken hair
the mirror spits back
all the qualities in which we lack
like needles in our eyes
poisoned with vain lies
she savored the quiet moments
devoid of conversation
the sound of still breathing
the footsteps that followed him leaving.
the closer I feel
the further you fade
the more I crave
the less you feed
so I chose not to need
a single thing..
will there ever be a solid bridge built to cross..?
a river below, to toss our fears away...
voices muffled, as she sank deeper
yet no hand reaches.
sunshine streaks through the surface
the only warmth you'll get
engulfed in cold fluids
& a heart weighed down by loves disillusions---
many reminders of what could have been..
all alone
she knew it all along..
Now listen to what I have to say
For the wicked hide in the shadows of this day
You know nothing of what is of me
You may know the color of my eyes
But not of what they are capable to see
Now here, I've warned this upon you
For not every smile is ever true
Everything is not set in stone
You may say there is an answer
When nothing is completely known
Close your eyes, please understand
That what you may rely on is a blood-thirsty hand
Unknown of what they truly are
Watch think before you turn and talk
Someone so close to you can be so far
So remember before you go on and say
"But why would anyone do this to me anyway?"
Human nature can be full of evil and greed
Unwatched, A monster born within the shadows, full only of self pleasure and need.
If a choice be given,
as it is,
it is when one decides
one chooses
blissfull ignorance
and lives life
without
Knowing, warning,
preparation
believing all is well
not worried
about the signs
there are too many
false positives
One that refuses
to be seen
Looked over,
poked and fondled
or to have themselves analyzed
as they would rather not know
if terminal,
if nothing at all
rather they are
blissfull, ignorant
they live, and do so
just to be alive
they accept that sickness
may come
calling
upon their time here
be it shorter
or long enough
but they don't want
to live knowing
waiting, fearing, praying
Watching
as loved ones watch them go
No, if given a choice
I choose to remain
blissfully ignorant
making the best
of what time I've left
and knowing only
that I am alive today
Allowing nature to run it's course
because of course,
we all go
and going only brings us all back home
so, no... Don't tell me
I don't want to know.
How did I know
That our fates
Were to be intertwined?
How did I know
That you were the one
That I was supposed
To be with
Was it your smile?
Your laugh?
The way you talked?
Or was it your cuteness?
Maybe it was how
Considerate you are?
I could write a list
That is a hundred
Pages long, but it
All comes down
To one simple thing
And that thing would be
I just knew

Tingling
When touched
Timeless
Lost in gaze
Moments
Of golden grace
Knowing
In a smile
Heaven
I’m softly floating
Forever
Here with you

How could I know
Exactly what you felt
But not know my own
Heart and desires
How could I know
Just what you wanted
But not that you where
Everything I ever needed
Now I know
Exactly what you mean
And just where I want
To be for eternity
