Colour Blind

I don't see the colour of your skin.

I see
the colour of your heart.

Is it dark and putrid or
is it the color of a soft and lilting tune?
Is it filled with warm tones,
or cold?
Hues of ice and snow,
or gold?

Do you give or take?
Do you love or hate?

I don't see race or faith,
I just see you-
your energy, your words, your actions.

I see you; I just simply
see you.
The news is getting to me. Let's all just love and be loved.
Every one of us deserves love and kindness. Every single one of us.

Here in the midst of lake and fell
where lake-land poets once did dwell,
penned their words in romantic style
I too will sit and dream a while.

Sat at the edge of mountain tarn
looking back over field and farm,
watching Merlin and Goshawks fly
on thermal winds high in the sky.

The scent of pine from forest deep
red squirrels search for nuts to keep,
native to this Cumbrian land
to watch them scurry, really grand.

So tranquil here midst lake and fell
where reds and poets do still dwell,
the only sound is natures song
this is the place that I belong.

Trudging up flight of stairs,
Heaving with stacks of book,
Tipping my head for a glimpse,
But your gaze had me on hook.
With composure I strolled on,
The flutters stayed in my heart,
Without a break in our stare,
You smiled and made me fall apart.
No deeper meaning existed,
Only a simple common courtesy,
Never once have I ever beg for more,
Still do show me some mercy.
It wasn't love nor a like,
Yet there were hidden feelings,
I know it's simply a dream,
But I can't help but keep falling.

The thought of losing you,
Was unbearable knowing it’s true.
I’m still unsure of what to do,
Should I just let go too?

It’s so confusing to think,
Every happened with a link.
Time with you, went by in a blink.
Maybe we just didn’t sync.

My feelings are so mixed,
Somehow there’s something that can’t be fixed.
My mind still thinking a midst
More time is what I wished.

I’ve made a million mistakes,
If there was another chance, I’d retake.
But these scars will remain.
At least until my life’s bane.

One chance was all I had,
Took it for granted, don’t be mad.
Kind of felt a bit glad,
That you didn’t feel sad.

Whoever the other guy may be,
I hope he opens his heart to see.
The beauty in you that has yet to flee.
Just that someone, will never be me.

My mind said that, It’s over.
My life needs a turnover.
Deep down, in my heart.
I know that I still love you.
well,
You ask why I no longer write
Well,my heart ran out of ink
My mind can no longer think
The boat of my dreams did but sink
The wells of inspiration are dry
Thus no matter how much I try
Can't find enough to drink
And I'm caring no more,broke that link
For in my armour emotion was the *****
Yet my passionless thoughts ****** stink

I got friends and family who care,
They were always there.






*At least they were.
Just not anymore

And today I lost a friend,
It's a fact I can't comprehend.
But you're a person I can no longer depend,
And this is how it ends.

The world is just a big reminder,
Nothing ever goes as you desire.
The situation always seem tighter.
Your mind seemingly going haywire.
Nothing to cling onto,
No one out there to save you.
Fallen to a deep abyss,
Yet you can't resist.

However, you should never give in,
This wasn't how it has been.
No matter what situation life puts you under,
Is never too major for you to get over.
Everyone will always remember,
That one fighter.
The survivor,

*You.
Never give up, not now, not ever.
