Long Time no See
I've been reviewing reflections. What beauty I once saw darts in and out of my vision. A few words have resurfaced old pains. There had only been scabs, not scars as I had hoped. I don't understand how my focus could have been in such a hope, a hope I idolized, when he was only an illusion. Or rather, a facade, hiding away more manipulation. Once the sun comes out again, I will continue my growth. But now even the rising sun does not seem certain.
Child
The child lies behind the mask
holding onto a silver flask,
She fears revealing light
as she hides in the warm night,
The stars cry golden tears
they want to take her from her fears,
Midnight approaches quick
the mask shatters on the brick,
Fractured glass glides
nowhere for the child to hide,
Her problems on display for all
she had no place in this ball.
Blame
You may have been given a small window of time,
Perhaps the blame is not yours,
But why did you hold back,
You may not have know how you felt,
Perhaps the blame is time,
Still
Why did you hold back,
You may have felt odd about what he said,
Perhaps the blame is his,
But
You held back,
You
could have let go of fear,
You
could have opened your mouth,
He
inspired you to be brave,
You
held back,
Perhaps the blame is yours
and you carry the guilt.
Love in Hope
A beautiful Home of isolation for us. Without our demons that haunt us in our hosues, no longer plagued by the tortures of this town. Vibrant red fruits hang from delicate branches. Their simple beautiful color differs from the blood of our pasts. A hill of soft grass, adorned with pebbles of happy memories together. A dark night decorated with golden stars that worn off fear. With a simple creek gliding like glass. The canvas would depict a Home of hope for the love of my life.
Ropes and Nets
Embraced by saftey
I lay in warmth and security,
Crickets tickle my ears,
and I giggle with joy,
and I am finally a child,
The days of adventure
once stolen from me
are mine for the taking,
A peacefull night
wraps around me,
A delicate woven blanket
of stars and dust,
I take my first steps
onto cool earth and stone,
I hold tight onto memories
trapped in pebbles,
The soil rots
crumbles,
It slides,
I slip,
I stare back,
Grasping for the net,
But he has drifted to sea
leaving me with a rope,
Bittersweet tears falling
under the stars.
Falling Seconds
The Lady of Consequence
has gone,
leaving the array of ores
suspended in air,
Grains of earth,
Falling seconds,
Their weight melts
into the chaos,
Leaving only their spirits
to dance on mortality,
Dust on the olive branches,
Falling seconds,
A wall of embers between us,
The almighty watching us,
Above us,
No longer with us,
Leaving us
to walk along the flames of sins,
Ashes reflect in our eyes
harmonizing with our horror,
Drifting down
to the bones,
Layers of grey,
Fallen seconds.
