Reality

I do not know now who you were 

A dream, a being I created 

So much of you I saw in me,

Reflecting light within my darkness

A glimpse of light that would peek through, 

But I would draw the curtains tight,

To keep reality at bay, 

I would succumb to all you’d say

Fall

Words on paper, blank and white

Cannot see them, yet they bite

Eyes that speak unending novels 

Without voicing any vowels 

Hands that hold unending wealth 

Cannot manifest good health 

In our psyche lives a being

Who’s all knowing and all seeing

Let it be, unleash control 

Don’t be scared if you shall fall

After every silent tear

One less thing you’ll start to fear

A Time

There was a time she loved him holy

The ground he walked upon, a shrine 

She worshipped him for every line 

Upon his touch, she would dissolve 

Any wrong doing she’d absolve 

There was a time she loved him blindly 

With constellations in her eyes

There was a time that she admired 

Her cells once dormant, now each fired 

Synapses sparkling in the dark 

There was a time he did no wrong 

Each word, each touch, a sacred song 

There was a time that she believed, 

Within the sweetest love she lived 

There was a time when words came crashing 

Promises uttered now lay shattered 

For action’s louder than words, 

A lie upon his lips she kissed 

His halo vanished into mist 

A lonesome cursor blinked and blinked 

Till all the scattered dots had linked
