this heart is restless-
made with a stone
this soul is an empty space-
where the stone is preserved
memories are burning ashes-
flying around a circle
wind blows beyond the limit-
but the stone is silent-
even after the random million echoes

Focus on what makes you happy instead of trying to ruin other people's happiness, dear.
Why can't we all just be happy? Together? For one another?

Look me in the eye
and tell me a story
Don't start to cry
You shouldn't worry

No words need to be spoken
No actions need to be done
We are all broken
Each and every one

Let me see your eyes
Let me look close
You cannot disguise
the plot that you compose

I look in yours
You look in mine
Inside I see the universe
Planets, galaxies and  stars that shine

I see secrets and memories
Knowledge and emotions
I see chaos and peace
Stillness and motion

I see creativity and imagination
Reality all twisted
I see boredom and fascination
My perception of things have shifted

I see talent and passion
interest and hobbies
I see love and compassion
family and priorities

I see beliefs and ethics
morals and history
I see facts and academics
books and their story

I see insecurities and broken hearts
wars and self doubt
I see a collection of your art
And things you never told me about

I break the connection
comprehending what I saw
All the beauty and complexion
Left me in awe

Dull blue eyes looking back, filled with pain,sorrow and loss.
And in a blink it was gone and he kept walking. How can someone keep all those emotions bottled up. How long has he been this broken, how long has he been this lonely. I can barely comprehend going so long alone and afraid. Who would break someone so beautiful,and most of all how can someone still be so beautiful after being broken so many times.

ephemeral
you didn't plant roses in my mind.
you didn't cultivate a garden of the most exquisite flowers
in the saddest parts of me.
---
but you planted chrysanthemums there-
less common and striking, but known for their endurance.
but you slowly tended to all the weeds,
pulling them out one by one.
---
but you made sure that even after you were gone,
I'd be able to take care of myself.
with or without you.
this is old, but I stumbled upon it and I really like it. how do you guys interpret this?
Waves hiss
lapping the shoreline,

******* clad
beings
soaking up the sun.

A slight breeze
pushing clouds,

they dance
for our
entertainment.

The vastness
of the ocean

reminding me
of the bigger
picture.

The grains
of sand

whisper
their allegiance
to the stars.
