Not everything I dreamed,
has come true.
Not every lie I believed
has gone as fast as you.
But the way you lingered in my heart,
took a little longer to remove.
It took adjusting my expectations to your new part,
learning to live apart from the rouse.

I took a note of the serenity
The peaceful quake of silence
The candid chatter of simple thoughts
And those eyes

I fell head first into those romantic chasms
A regal beauty dwelled inside
Swimming in the complexity of those orbs
Always examining

Taken by the deep green mirrors
A perfect image of a rainy forest
They drizzled with a wisdom
Beyond

So very beyond this human earth
Transcending into the deepest means of matter
Into something that takes form
But no meaning presented to such simple beings

An enigma in those eyes
Watching with such jagged edges
They cut like the smoothest blade
A bittersweet injury

One may fall captive
Beneathe the brush of those black lashes
To the tops of rosy cheeks

And the mischievous grin
Which up turns such wicked lips

I was a day too short
and displace too far.

My love life is a history of silence;
A song of half-swallowed moments,
A tango of tangled words.

On the inside,

I'm a wonderland.
