I see the grey on their faces
I see the clouds on their heads
I see the tears traces
and their broken hearts

I see the wind
I see the grass
and this world I had imagined
was much better in the past
before my sight was made transparent

But,
I see the light
I see the dimples and freckles on her chin
I see her eyes
I see her skin,
To know that she is real.
I was in town and an old man started talking to me, I said I was doing about textures for my art project and he began talking about himself. He was born blind and grew up blind without being able to see. He met his wife when he was 8 years old and they married when they were 20. All through their lives together he couldn't see until he was given laser eye surgery to improve his sight and he was telling me that when he could first see he was really disappointed because the world he thought was beautiful was  really depressing and people were sad. It was driving him mad. But then one sunny spring day when the light poured in from the French shutter windows-his  wife standing in the door way he realised how blessed he was of being given sight and being able to see the real beauty of her and know she's an actual person without having to touch around to know she's there. And that her presence-the sight of her comforted him.  I thought that was beautiful..

I might be numb

to the world,

but I feel you 
so vividly

I started sleeping
,
Without my nightlight
,
When my greatest fear
,
Became a feeling.

Rather than a being.

Hazel eyes found her green,

his sighs full of promises 
and dreams.
that they’d share

I have been told to 
forget you.

Oh, as if it were 
so stupidly simple.

I can’t make a movement

or a noise,
or have a
 thought
without you
 appearing.

How do you forget 
somebody?
How do you forget
 somebody,
when 
your lips are stitched 
together with the 
letters that spell 
out their name?

I've  been touched by love
 far too many times,
now I just want 
to be held by it.

There is a light bulb where my heart used to be,
but you were the careless type.
You knew how much energy could be wasted when you left a room with the light on,
so you did.
