Lost Vision

Love Escaped


Beginning a new life, starting a new journey
Walking with time I came here
Lonely and lost I began to explore
Meeting new people, making new friends

Not knowing where to start, I started with you
You sat there in the corner
I looked deeply into your eyes
You seemed so dear to me
As though I’ve met you before

Days passed and I began to feel
An attraction, a yearning
to know you, understand you, and with time love you
Smiling, laughing, and sharing moments with you,
I could not ask for anything more

Placed within my heart and surrounding my dreams,
Unfolding new sensations, a different kind of love
A love not know to me, a love without bounds

Gazing at the stars, I could see your eyes
Sitting under the sun, I could feel your warmth
Courage I lacked and destiny was not on my side

You found someone, and I was left behind
To have been able to love you would have been my greatest joy
To have you by my side, hold you, and lay
tender kisses upon your lips would have been my gain

Soon I am to leave you behind,
But my heart shall always hold the place
It has so delicately made for you

Wherever I may be, no matter how far
My feelings for you will never cease,
My love will never subside,
And my hopes will never die.



Society

I am a victim of my own malice.
I lie to those I trust ,
I judge that which I do not understand,
And my criticism is powered by my ignorance.

I impede spirits who yearn to be free,
I carry with me my past and refuse the future to be.
I am a victim of my own malice,
And I call myself society.


Enclosed

I sit in a room surrounded by darkness
There are no doors, nor windows
I am enclosed by four walls
A ceiling which I can not see
And a ground very cold to my body

I am of age not known to me
Of knowledge untold and of words unspoken
My thoughts are my only possession
With them I imagine, I think and I know

I know of light but have not seen it
I know of warmth but have not felt it
I know of life but have not lived it
I know of love but have no one to share with

I sit in a room surrounded by darkness
There are no doors, nor windows
I am enclosed by four walls
A ceiling which I can not see
And a ground very cold to my body
