I am terribly near sighted
Consciously and subconsciously
I see not what I have saw
And
I hear not what I have heard
Sometimes,
In fact most of the time,
I don’t even feel
What I should have felt
But the mirror of life
It keeps a record of every little thing
And I relive in my dreams
All that I have missed
And much much more:
All I ever need
Is just a little hint of life:
Your lovely little smile
I failed to respond to during the day
Would haunt me
With what would seem like
A whole lifetime of sweet champagne
And
Kisses of cherries and grapes
With a scent of longing that
Fills me to the core with
Twinges that burst throughout
My entire being
Shining brightly from
Every single particle of my
Soul
The little chirps and calls of crickets
That alternate between the oblivious
Moon upon a bed of restless stars
And the wizened sun
Would always take me to a land
Unlived, untouched, unruined
A vast nonexistence
A vast ruin full of life
Where I have never been so alone
Yet so fulfilled, so joyful, and so
Free
And
The dreamless gale that
Would raise me up to mountains
From which I can finally gaze down
With sure and confident eyes
Upon the whole of life
And
See, sense, and feel
Every scenery and every being
With the purest of colours
Rowing down the crimson rivers
In a canary boat caressed by
A forest of ocean blue sequoias
Blanketed with a soup of
Violet stars
Into the heart of the universe
Where everything that have lived
Or could have lived
Never went away
Where nothing is ever gone
But just lost
So momentarily
Like a wandering child
Let out into the world
Seemingly defenselessly
Yet, perfectly safe
Under the hidden watch of
The mother
Where everything I love
Love me just as much
And so much more
Where I am never just me
But a child
A poet
A painter
A musician
An ancient pilgrim
Where I can fall into stars
And float up to the edge
Of the sky
Swim in the air without my feet
Ever touching the ground
Where I am finally
Held by you
The one person
I love most unyieldingly
In a death grip of never letting go.
