The Reflecting Pond

Staring at the waves
Pictures forming in my mind
Of bodies below the surface
Slowly breathing in the brine

Lungs lose desire for air
For they forget the taste
Of dancing in the daylight
Of inhaling in your grace

Sleeping softly in these blankets
Holding me snugly to the floor
Of water pressure darling
Let me lay here evermore

My blood deeply longs for freedom
Cut my arms and set it free
Leaving streamers in the water
The last life that’s left in me

you stand staring from the surface
straining to see through the waves
at the girl who once could see you
for now and evermore, she lays

Canadia... my home!

Finally back from Sweden, it was a good time overall I think. Although, for some reason I had this bad feeling about the trip before I left. I think I understand whyyy now. But anyhoo... here's a little poem, it seems this blog has been evolving into a poetry book for a long time now, but this is the first post acknowledging it. My bad.

Wednesday

my heart once beat
only for you
until you left me
it was snapped in two

i have no tape
and cant find the glue
that will bring me the feelings
i want to be true

i'll stay with you dear
if its what you desire
but im not in the position
to set your heart afire

i've no feeling
no soul
no emotions to fly

in the dark
in the hollow
where i silently cry

for the empty
for the not
for the reasons i cant

give my heart
and my body
to the love of one man

but if truth is unveiled
my love you would see
that i want to be yours
i dont want to be free

i cant give you hope
for it may not be right
while i dig through the scars
with my mind i will fight

take my hand
and you feel like you're family

take my time
for it wants to be yours

take my eyes
for in blindness i see you

take my heart
make it feel you once more
