I can see you shying your sight away
Slowly shutting door, after door,
After door. I am standing farther
And farther – with every word I type
You look even smaller
And smaller. The grass was always greener
Much greener – over the rainbow,
Where you once took me, a long
Very long time ago.

And in those seldom moments
When you delve in lucidity
I get - in the blink of an eye-
A less than brief glimpse
To the real you.
You spark like lightening
When your truth surfaces.
Your eyes light up
Traces of tiredness dissipate
Smile creeps back.
You stand there
Naked.
You stand there
Despite the world
Covered in only the purest
Most profound of your thoughts
And feelings.
You stand there
Alone
But not afraid.
Shouting from the rooftop of your ego
All about who you are
And what you are about.
You stand there
Staring people in the eye
Confessing things that needn’t be confessed.
You stand there
Breathing it all in
Hoping and dreaming things
You never dared envision before…
You stand there
A you most different than you
A you few know
A you I missed
A you that is not… You.

i'm stuck
at a loss
for words
on the edge of my imagination
there's calmness beyond.
it's appeasing
a moment of silence
in the midst of my chaos
i'm burning out slowly
a meteorite chasing its planet
the course is already set
i hesitate on the brink
of my imagination
...     or    ...
