Bright Eyes

I have seen lips pressed against lies,
Ah! The beauty prolonged in rose-colored kiss.
How I miss the ignorance in all of that bliss.

I have wished for the white-blues of the sun
To shine in my eyes when the laughter has died,
But awkward silence reprimands what was tried.

I have whispered to myself the broken truths
When inspiration raises voices that float to my ears,
They roll off your tongue like unprovoked funeral tears.

I have prayed again to God for a change tonight,
A rescue from the torrent of lies that wash over the stars.
Please distance yourself and speak those wretched words from afar.

Your bright eyes still stare down lifeless into mine
Come home...

another beautiful write from you! For some reason the third stanza, the last line was a bit akward for me, but that is probably just me...but the imagery...breathtaking? very vivid write.

The nice thing about being a pesimest is that your either right, or pleasantly surprised.
