A Goddess in My Eyes


I walk through this barren land
Wanting to hold that precious hand
But it seems too far to grasp
I run, but it seems like the dream is fading
I can hear Morpheus laughing.
I tried to give Cupid the universe
So he could shoot us with one of his arrows
He declined, said it wasn’t enough for your heart.
Eros pines over you
Aphrodite is jealous of my love for you
But it still doesn’t get me closer.
I have climbed over your curvy hills
I have drowned in your rivulets of hair
I have gazed upon the stars in your eyes
I have heard you whispering wind in my ear.
What I want most of all
Is to taste the tantalizing sweetness of your lips.
I worship you
Like a flower worships the sun throughout the day
Like an astronaut worships the ground after being in space.
I’m in love with you
And yet I don’t know how to say it.
I feel like I’m one step behind
Like I’m in love with your shadow
Never again seeing the light.
I grovel,
Stretching out my hand
Ready for you to take me.
I avert my eye’s
Not knowing if it is me you love
Or the idea.
I feel a warmth press into my hand
I feel your fingers lace with mine
I feel my heart racing
Beating to the rhythm
Of a Gypsy Night
My face is flush
My head is pounding with excitement.
I look up and I gaze upon your face
My Goddess,
In all her splendor.

And then I awake.
Morpheus stands at the foot of my bed
A sly grin crosses his face.
He looks amused
Wondering what I would give for another taste.
I realize I am in love with you
But you’ll never be in my grasp.
So, I give up the only thing that I have.
My life with the waking
To be in the arms of slumber.
To dream of you forever
I’d gladly take my last breath.

What I've Seen

You pass me on the sidewalk You sit next to me on the train. You’re pretending you don’t care But I can see your shame. You don’t care if I am sleeping You sit away from me when I am drunk. If you just took a second I would tell you what I came from. I came from a broken system I fell through the cracks. Some people tried to help me But soon stop in their tracks. You say I am homeless I say I’m living off the land. Maybe if we all crashed at the bottom You would see what I see. I see a beautiful world Being choked by power and greed. I see animals dying And it’s getting harder to breathe. I see people getting distracted About the “News” on the T.V. I see all the heart is gone And no one is helping their fellow man. I see all the pain and suffering But never a helping hand. I see voice’s going unheard While people blame the victims. I see leaders taking bribes And commending other tyrants. I see our children suffering At th...

Apprehension

I don’t know what to think. Is there something I am missing? Is it something I said? I told you how I felt But I don’t know if you feel the same. Am I going to quickly Or is my mind just a mess? Was it truly the beginning Or just the beginning of the end? I can’t tell But I am feeling the apprehension setting in. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. Maybe I am wrong. I hope you do prove me wrong Because I deserve this. I beat myself up. I run through everything in my mind. But I don’t see how I can come out on top. At least, not yet. I might just be overthinking. I might just be beating myself up for no reason. But this feeling of apprehension Isn’t going away. Not just yet. 02/10/2018
