Confoundingly profound

Sadness comes with me to you, and I speak the

words in my mind as I cannot say

them to you. Even as my blue grey crosses with

your brown, the emptiness fills my subconscious, as

your unawareness of not knowing penetrates; the drowning of

show and tell suffocates, inside me. Unable I am to satiate

my colours for the map, I drew for you lays unread, in the

dark on your desk. Inside my eyes, unshed tears are

burning, for their way to come out, as it aches and takes

the fabric of skin with them to reveal a shallowed

passion. I wonder, if I should make an end to it, and once

and for all be done with this…

But the look in your eyes, however empty of

apperception pervade into intuitive truth, though deep words

are few. I had not realized, been focusing on

the wrong things all along. So I bid, expand your

vocabulary on me, I will show you the wealth of the vast

universes they can reveal. Into your world they will bleed, as I will

read your little star sign book; and with the way in

which you devour written words, open up your mind and take

mine into it. Give me a reason to look into your

unsuspecting eyes, with a sincerity that is blind.
