Mind’s Eye Karen Hecht Springer Sweet nothings Caress my ear And just as sharply The moment ends As he ignores The petals of the flower Opening within my being Instead choosing Water over blood I step away from myself And in the silver screen of my mind’s eye You’re throwing back a laugh A mischievous glint in your eye Suddenly I want to go to the hills in the distance Even though I know when we get there they’ll just be Covered with the same old grass Yet somehow transformed Into green lush pastures of promise Suddenly I want to go to the clouds above Even though I know when we get there they’ll just be Thin white vapors whispering the truth Yet somehow capturing The fleeting weight of regret But I’ve flown too close to the sun Icarus falling, drowning to blue sea And I realize One heart, Two lives Equals none

Karen It dozen't pay I find to be too over analyzing or critical of yourself, especially where relationships are concerned. Remember you are a Force of One in this world. Never forget that. Peter

Excellent work for such youth...it comes about so distantly (time between great poets) but it comes about and that is all that matters.

A maudlin poem of epic proportions. You craft a fine poem. Ron V

You completely lost me on this one. How is it that he can understand what is going on within yourself . . . like . . . . The moment ends "As he ignores The petals of the flower Opening within my being Instead choosing Water over blood?" I'm sorry, sometimes you just have to give us a hint about these things. Either that or find a rather sensitive fellow who can be as one with you. For some reason I think you wouldn't particularly like that situation either in the long run.
