Never imagined I’d see yesterday through tomorrow’s eyes.
Hope now blinded once again by the truth,
Of an uncertainty in life that is all too real.
Living in a world full of broken hearts, promises, and paths.
Where is my sunshine and rainbow?
Where is my shovel to dig myself out of this hell of despair and fear?
Where is the train to Anyplace other than here?
A vivid image I see
when I close my eyes.
A wild imagination
that allows desires to live freely.
I see us in a strong embrace,
as we let time suspend until forever.
The warmth of your body
electrifies my soul.
A simple touch
ignites feelings unknown to the mind.
Voice as smooth as silk,
it carries me beyond the clouds,
and makes me believe I’ve reached the gates of Heaven.
Eyes as beautiful as the sun,
they draw me closer to you.
And then I awake.
I still feel this surreal reality from deep within,
and the memories engrained will forever linger on.
On Freedom: “No price is too high to pay for the priviledge of owning yourself.” – Nietzsche
Could it be that I know heaven?
Embraced in your strong hold,
Thoughts of a world unknown
Of a feeling never felt.
Making me think.
You teach me.
Words spoken from your tongue of gold.
You amaze me.
Making me smile.
Into your eyes, I gaze.
You make my heart feel safe
Whenever you’re around me.
Could it be that you’re my heaven?
A place that I’ve longed for.
A place where I can tear down my walls,
And open my arms and embrace it all.
Having the time to reflect on self,
I’ve come to realize that what I seek is within me.
I’ve wallowed in self doubt, and in the process
I’ve put creative dreams on hold.
Always making excuses for what I can’t do and why,
And what I don’t have time for.
The years have slipped away for making dreams a reality.
The years have slipped away, but time allows for second attempts,
For me to make the best of time that’s left.
I see so clearly now, and my senses are alive.
I feel revived as if a new me has been born.
With a new sense of self, I will create
What might be the masterpiece of a lifetime.
A masterpiece to make me weep tears of joy
That I accomplished what I set forth to do.
I’ve decided to put fear aside, and make my dreams a reality.
I shall try once again without reservation.
Having the time to reflect on self,
I’ve come to realize that what I seek is within me.
It’s Creativity.
It’s Happiness.
It’s Paradise.
