I can be the happiness

in your eyes

after a long day of tears.


                                            I can be the long road

                                            you walk on

                                           trying to face your fears

                              
                                                                ­    – *M.K.L.B

she is an untold beauty in my eyes
kept from the world for far too long
her words are such an exquisite taste
her eyes glowing with the radiance of the sun reflecting on water
a smile that could make the grinch blush
when she speaks to me, my ears beg for more
when she looks at me, my heart misses a beat
when she smiles at me, I smile for her
i could stare at her for hours, reading poems I've written
i want to just hold her in my arms even if only for a moment
place my hands on her lungs and help her to breathe
give her a kiss so she knows that I care
whispering sweet honey in her ears like she deserves

Take my eyes and see what I see

The beauty inside yourself that

You deny with no second thought

About the truth that lies in my words

the vision of you haunts me

tearing apart my dreams

crossing the threshold

into this reality




the perfect balance

life and death

feels so sweet

i embrace both

reality

or fiction

to real to

make a distinction

eyes forming illusions

voice echoing gently

your scent fills the air

seeing you everywhere

the sounds of earth move beneath my feet

dragging me down below

my hands scrapping at the floor

looking for something to keep me here

my arms losing strength

my back giving in

then the thought of you holds me still

allowing me to save myself

to come back for you
