Suspend belief for a moment
catch me before I hit the ground
warm my eyes - unfreeze them
whispers lost without a sound

Don't turn your eyes away
save me from myself tonight
only you can change how things are
and bring my breath back to life

Witness my imaginary darkened world
pulling you down - taking over me
my forever dying last wishes
are the things that will never be
how your face is veiled in shadow
of sadness for the years
how beautiful you are mesmerized
beneath the canvas of your tears

Lay your hands on my aura
I'm a slave to the touch
another bleeding heart messiah
who's lost more than too much

Together let's rise from ashes graven
and breathe the pure air of night
from your lips to mine - like in dream
and bring my breath back to life

Lots of hope and emotion in this poem.  I think many of us can read it and feel it.

Thank you for sharing.

lots of neat lines in this one...I found these to be my favorites:

"how beautiful you are mesmerized
beneath the canvas of your tears"

"whispers lost without a sound"

Wish I'd written that.
