Raised by Gods

That can’t sing

 

Her love became

The prayers

That they would read

And

Bestowed with the blessings

Her smile would seed

 

Awakened my mind

Beyond gold and green

 

Where

I found my self bound

 

To the one

Who found me

To comprehend a Goddess

Is like meeting a love

You’ve never known.

 

To shy away from its light,

Because it is Blinding?

Or too beautiful to behold?

If life is the reality

That you dream

 

Then dare I say 

 

That I’ve met you before

Somewhere in-between

The in-between

 

Where connections were made

But left unseen

 

A couple souls

That slipped through the seams

Of time

Like sand in the hands

Of greed

 

Casted into the fire

I saw her dance

With the life of spring

Turned to glass

The spirits called her

Dare I manifest

all that I’m

not meant

to hold

 

There laid upon

my chest

a mirror

made of gold

 

One in which

reflects her loving

shine

 

But

 

Even if I loved her

to let her go


I'm sure even a mirror

made of gold

can fracture with time

If I were to tell you
I saw you in a dream

Would you let me go on
about how I saw
your soul gleam

Like a million fires
seen across sea

Now

My eyes can carry me
to your wonders

But

At your shore
I could never be

So

If I were to tell you
I saw you in a dream

could you tell me why
I awoke with a love

That was never meant
for me
Even under the greyest sky
Bright colors of nature come through.
So can you
Just find the strongest you.

Red flags disguised
amongst the roses

I can’t lie
i was distracted
by
her many poses

Quick

water down the fantasy  
can anyone
being some hoses

For

My dry eyes

had me thinking
“This is great”

Until I met her gaze
and realized
like the rest
she’s the same

To one day
meet
a kinder love

So I won’t
have to
feel
the loneliest
in my pain
