Through the Eyes of Princess Jasmine

Running forward,
Bouncing Back.
Reaching Toward you,
Touching Glass.
Peering outward,
My view a blur.
My hands are numbing.
I need more.
Just to see you,
never touch.
It is my torture.
It's not enough.
The sand is dripping.
My ankle's trapped.
I had my moment.
My chance elapsed.
Now I wait here,
Slowly covered
By the sand
Of my lost Lover.

I pray to God

If I pass you on the street, 
I pray to God: our eyes to meet.


If I meet you in my sleep, 
I dream to God: my heart, you'll keep.


If I love you in real life, 
I hope to God, you'll be my wife.


And If I wed you in the rain, 
I trust to God you'll share my pain. 

Perspectives

I can see us now,
Rocking in our chairs, 
Sipping lemonade, 
Our grand-kids upstairs.


I can see us now,
Hair turning grey, 
Wrinkles setting in, 
Our love turned ballet.


I can see us now,
Finding something new, 
Finding something borrowed, 
Both old and new. 


I can see us now,
Me waiting there, 
You walking down, 
Fresh flowers in your hair.


I can see us now, 
Discovering hope, 
Experiencing pain, 
We'll learn how to cope.


I can see us now,
Our awkward first date, 
My lame pick up lines, 
It's not a mistake. 


Why can't you see
What's right in front of us, 
The joy that we could have?
You are the one I trust.


For now I'll wait, 
Laugh, cry, and mourn.
You'll never care.
You'd think I would learn.
I'll stand up, move on.
I do not know how.
I'll probably fail. 
I can see it now. 

Will you weep?

Love is simple,
Love is kind.
Can't tame these feelings
In my mind

Calm, Collected.
Sure, I'm fine.
Depression creeping.
I'm on the line.

Clawing, scraping,
Gasping for life.
Falling, fading:
My internal strife.

Should I reach out?
Can I break free?
The silver I saw,
I no longer see.

Holding my chest,
longing for breath,
this terrifying tango,
this dance of death.

Then you came,
nose stuck in a book.
My heart, my mind:
you cluelessly took.

My heart was in shock.
My mind insane.
Sitting rock bottom,
the whole world to gain.

Yet there you sat,
not knowing, entranced.
Our meeting, your smile.
It wasn't by chance. 

Now day after day
I wonder, I ponder.
Alone with my pen,
my hope: please don't squander.

Just give me a glance.
Give me a shot!
All I want is a moment.
It isn't a lot.

You don't know me.
Mayhap you never will.
It all depends 
what I do with this pill.
