 Aug 2018 Speaking Eyes

The moon is drunk and full
And I sober and empty
We both will fade into the morning
We are nothing without love
Ships lost at sea without their sails
With life's bitter storms soon too come
We need love above all else

We are nothing without love
Too steep the hill too hard the climb
Too late to grasp what is to come
As we succumb to life's mudslides

We are nothing without love
An empty train on a dead-end track
At the end without reverse
With no way to make it back

We are nothing without love
An unmade bed with no rest
Those that are left, toss and turn
With only dreams of love instead

We are nothing without love
Abandoned buildings, emptiness
Demolition soon to come
We are nothing without love
My reflection changes
With age in hand
No need for a mirror
To see who I am

I just need the memory
Of all that I have done
To help me reflect on
What I have become

My reflection has changed
As all do in time
It's no longer the mirror
That catches my wanting eye

It is now my memory
The older that I get
That helps me reflect
On who I really am

When you hurt, a part
Of me experiences
A share of your pain.
Watching your smile
Listening to your
Shiny golden laugh
It's all yellow.
Wildflower meadows
Sunsets on beaches
Endless sunny days
The world melting
Like icecream in the heat
Sticky and sweet
Swimming in thick syrup
So tiring, just like
Painting a perfect grin
Sometimes,
I see the blue.
Part 3. Thoughts apprieated.

Maybe 10 years from today,
Maybe only 1 year away,
Or even just 1 day,
I will be able to say...
Words that should be said
