She never looks up
But I have imagined her smile to be
A thousand shades of
Happiness.

Her expression is calm
But her eyes are fierce
They light up with joy when I
Find her hiding behind
A thousand faces.
Inspired by Danny O'Connor's painting of the same title.

Clear blue eyes
Trained straight ahead
Skip through me
A step along the way... long...

...

...Forgotten.
Her past is red and black,
Coal and fire;
Her future is blue and white,
Opening her mind to a whole new
Sky.
She doesn't realize I am
Broken
Or perhaps she knows
But still she
Ignores.
This came from the inspiration of an art piece by Danny O'Connor of the same title

He talks like he owns the sky
Speaks to the stars and
Controls the rotating planets

In his voice I hear
Inflexions of lies,
But my mind is caught by
The poetry in his gestures
The scent of rain and the hope he'll bring me
Sunshine.
The downpour is never ending but still
I hope.
You didn't look at me
When I said
Look at new horizons
You were already staring straight ahead
Breaking my heart
In a thousand
Pieces.
I didn't want him to love somebody esle
I wanted him to love me
I really wanted him to love me
Not that it matters now,
Anyway
God
Please explain to me
Why I'm so lonely
When I turned to the edges
You were there with your words
Filing away the sharp heart
Into something lovable

Like the ocean teases the shore
Until she becomes soft in his hands
In the end you saved
The most important part of me
