Healing takes time,
And fissures run deep,
I only wish
To cure
This flawed perfection,
In time to
Greet my sleep.

Where once my dreams
Were filled with stars,
A need
Surpassing desire,
But as you set
Your gaze upon me,
I found
No need for them
At all.

My mind sometimes
Plays tricks on me,
Where every gaping void
Is filled
With dread and anxiety,
As does escape
My heart,
With free falling velocity,
Fleeing
Before it is made to fill
This unfillable fee.

Would you allow me
To stand in your light
For just a moment,
Allow me,
Kindly,
To breathe in,
For even a second
Could unravel my knots,
A second
To untangle these strings.

Would you allow me to
To bathe in your rays
For just a moment,
Permit me,
Kindly,
To soak in,
For even infinity
Could not compete,
With a second,
Just the one,
My heart spent
In your eternity.

Happiness unforgivable,
Laughter unseen,
Dare not!
To crack a single smile,
Darkness,
Take heed!
Embodiment
Of anger and despise,
These monsters,
And their flaming steed.

Fear,
Their favorite meal,
Full to the brim,
Barely satiated,
Despair,
A bonus treat,
Wielding a ferocious weapon,
Cracking,
With an unwavering scream.

Screams,
That seep in,
Screams,
That never leave,
Screams,
That break and eat and ****,
Devouring,
Whatever means

They blur,
Your eyes do,
With joyful serenity,
The lines fade,
With a single step,
Bold,
Afraid no longer,
Across,
Unexpected bright
That blinds,
And all I see,
Need not be said.

Straw roof,
And a sea of pink,
Firm bricks sandwiched
Between sky and field,
Pink flows,
Where the sky ends,
Eternity grasps,
As the clouds bend.
