Felt the pillows of crimes,
retreating through souls of
the sweet through the bitter.

To sail through nights,
wishing for a hand to hold,
tracing a sign through the eyes heart.

I bleed the blue,
wish for the red,
as mice seek tunnels through cracks of open truth.

I laid on the balcony,
tore the shield,
as i lived through the gift of her smile.

Take the armor,
dress the body with false hopes,
and believe the chants of laughter.

I see the circle,
but masks cant hide my feelings.

To dream of gold,
and then become silver,
is as fast as ghosts of the wind.

Cry me through this pain,
because love is hiding in a jar,
trapped behind the impossible.

I missed my train.

I feel like I have missed my train a lot. hhmmm...in reality, I don't believe I have ever been on a train. Too aware that we are missing something, to realize that we just should have walked. Umm...I am confusing even myself, this afternoon. I love this though. elegantly put.
I will look for more...
you should email me, or something.
take care

Nice work, it didn't lose it's flow at all. The ending was great and same for the second stanza.

Hollow.

Tomer?

this line alone blew me away:

as mice seek tunnels through cracks of open truth.

because immediately I saw them running
to . . . knowledge . . .
