Dazed, I walk this empty place while teardrops cycle and the silver moon fades into horizons blush. Harmony is missing in my waking moments, Paradise a distance yet to go. In this morning calm, I reflect on the sufferings of others, comparing and while I am only on its edge I see the depth echoing its path towards mine. Twisted thoughts, indecent at times wrenching my body, distorting my view. I would use you if I could, complicating your life, seize upon your every breath to bring mine back to "inspirations point." I have yet to blossom, adored by none, hurt by truths, eyes holding the secret. Last night I left the light on...hoping, the phone by my side...wishing, but knowing all too well, sleep would overcome first. The road ahead is blocked, the storms having left disaster in their path, so much distruction, years in the making. He doesn't realize what life after will be like, as I prepare myself for the inevitable. Still his pillar, all will come crumbling down just when he thinks he will be flying free. And me? Where will I land? I am a bit more controlled, less needy now, still feeling shades of blue for failure was not my game. But I have my pride intact, and I lack nothing that with time and a bit of patching up, will redress my life to suit myself and if you are there, you will be one of the lucky ones to be included in my world of ALWAYS. "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (06-10-2002 06:44 AM).] |

Seems that the times when reflecting is strong...is when distance is long and our heart beats slowly in wait... Nicely done M. |
