Eyes are wide;
Where's my conscience gone?
mind and sight;
Charting waters known.
Barbs,
Forgotten taunts.
Angst,
Late come retorts.
Memories torn,
A long night now beckons.
Imagine the thoughts,
Lurking behind,
A baby's babbling coos!
The days before
Words come by,
When she frets and boos.
"Don't you get?
My superb wit,
Bumbling forth with glee.
Just you wait,
Till I state,
Every word i mean.
For now I sate
My growing distaste
Running amok unseen."
The more I grow,
The weeds too grow,
Planting doubts afresh.
Do they know,
That I don't know,
More of what I said?
She's smart how,
Concede it now,
But what if it's a farce?
What if they saw,
The seeds I sow,
Are worth a lot, lot less.
If I were a ray of light,
Forego, I would, the speed of light;
Oh, wonder what ways to take
What a journey I could make.
Fly along the banks fertile,
Touching every leaf so mild,
Taking in the Viridian shores,
Waking up the flowers from snores.
Cruise above the waters blue,
Pristine sands, Sparkling hues.
Light up every crashing wave,
Recede away when tempests heave.
And then I reach the heavens high;
Parting through the cloudy sky.
Every breath - so calm, so still.
Reining in the tumultuous will.
A shimmering mirage,
Born of heat.
Tempting the heart
Of wishes incomplete.
The thirsty heart,
Parched and dry;
Rushes to the barrier,
Heartened and high.
Blooming hope -
An oasis come true.
Can one cope
While passing through?
Broken wishes;
Crushed out hope.
Never again to dare,
Forlorn and lost.
