Imagination (Poem)

What if air was like water and we could all fly?
What if the sea was not much different from the sky?

We'd be soaring through the air,
Like birds on wings.
I could fly around the world,
See many wondrous things.

What if gravity has no hold on us,
And we could jump ten feet in the air?
I bet everyone down on the streets,
Would gasp, stop and stare.

I could do things I couldn't do,
Be someone I couldn't be.
But.
Not when I'm still stuck on land,
Defied by boring gravity.

What if the world goes topsy turvy,
And the sky becomes the floor?
What if the ground becomes our ceiling,
And gravity thrown out the door?

I will walk on the clouds with you,
In the sunny month of May.
We will float down to outer space,
See the endless Milky Way.

I close my eyes and smile,
As I picture this in my head.
The wonders of imagination..

It's time to go to bed.

You With The Sad Eyes (Poem)

You with the sad eyes,
Piercing blue flecked with gold,
That can penetrate me
Like a bullet straight to my heart.

Every time your glance falls on me
In the midst of the passing crowds,
It's as though time stood still for that single moment.

You with the sad eyes,
In your heart
Are unspoken grievances and hurts,
That I can only guess but will never know.

But I cannot help you ease the pain,
If you refuse to let go of it.
I cannot help you mend your heart,
If you refuse to leave your wounds alone.

You with the sad eyes,
I do not understand
Why you keep picking at your scars,
Like a child constantly fingering
The scab on his knee.

Re-opening the wounds,
Letting the bad memories spurt forth
Like a nightmare rewinding itself
All over again.

You with the sad eyes,
Unable to let go completely,
Afraid to move on
And search once more,
For the emotions that you’ve long forgotten.
For the laughter that ceased to exist,
On the day
Your heart started to fall apart.
And mine ached for what yours was going through.

Every time your glance falls on me
In the midst of the passing crowds,
It's as though time stood still for that single moment.
And I tell myself, I am falling in love.

Bleeding Heart (Poem)

I drown myself in music,
Letting each note try to
Shut out the noise of the world,
Shut out my inner voice,
Filled with all those insecurities and fears.

It's an antidote to
This hole in my heart.
Never filling it,
Never satisfying it.
But it will have to do,
For now.

I smile as I talk to people,
wondering if they could see me
Carefully putting a lid on my emotions
So that no one will realize
How raw and bleeding
My heart really is.
