Mind’s Eye

August 11, 2012

Sweet nothings

Caress my ear

And just as sharply

The moment ends

As he chooses to ignore

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
