7/28/2019 She is Quiet
1/3
She is Quiet
From this place I have watched her
I have seen her moveSliding along the shores of her own desires
Her eyes darting briskly around the corners of her own dreams
In those moments I question her casted images across my heartReflecting my deepest prayers to her sideInnocently I imagine love again, standing lonely in the corner
Enticing me to join the shadowy depths of its unknown pillages
Without consent she stands idly by, laying her soul cautiously before its feetHer vision captivates the sharper aspects I have forgotten about
If only she knew how fraudulent I was, how desperately I spoke out
How ignited I felt when she called me close with laughter
How sunlit peddles follow her every stepHow days lasted longer without her graceful presence
But alas all is quiet
In those moments I whisper prayerfullyGuiding, silently, my neglected loneliness toward the promise of tomorrow
Through gleeful loathing I turn away to forget her movements
My eyes shutter as though to draw back tears
And then I ponderIf time stood courageously by, echoing toward needed passages
Would her essence flow through me
And would, in that moment, I become her breathing heart beat, and she mineAnd would, excited by possibilities, that way bring about infectious love
Cascading around those we cared for, locking them deep within happiness
With a whimsical melody and gay anglings, annoying their inner masters
Could we curse them with that honor, without remedy?Yet all is still
From that place I continue to watch
Crafting fleeting moments into cherished yesterdaysThere we were, blind spotted, without form; only for an instant
Existing in the prism of a rain drop; the flowing of a daffodil pod
The envy of the rising sun and falling moonWe were non complacent to the heavens
Our paths crossing briefly and without intimacy
And yet, we were lovers
From this place we drew ourselves togetherCollected the willful properties, the shattered promises; for the gloriously unattained
We spoke similarly, crashing our hopes into the others
Then slowly we cast our spell, eyeing each letter from the solar point of our beings
And we became entrapped, mimicking what was unavoidableThat trance abounded by luck whos prominence hushed the world
And created cosmic royalty
Yet all is unknownFrom that place I mourn her entrance into my embrace
7/28/2019 She is Quiet
2/3
Upon little caring has love grown to blossom a forest
Yet her way has been cautiously liquidated, a map freshly given
The pain, sketched so deeply that her shadow holds her hostageAnd I wallow, entrapped by divine laws, a role I never surrendered to
But now I stand over here looking through an empty glass
My edge lost in service, her way thrown eschewedTheres rain between the space we knowAnd heart ache within our syllables
And yet all is silent

She is Quiet
From this place I have watched her
I have seen her move, sliding along the shores of her own desiresHer eyes darting briskly around the corners of her own dreams
In those moments I question her casting images across my heart
Reflecting my deepest prayers to her sideSuperbly I imagine love again, standing lonely in the cornerEnticing me to join the shadowy depths of its unknown pillages
She stands idly by, laying her soul cautiously before its feet
Her vision captivates the sharper aspects I have forgotten aboutAbandoned within my innocents, reframing me from indulging in childhood playfulness
If only she knew, how fraudulent I was, how desperately I spoke out
How ignited I feel when she calls me close with laughter
How sunlit peddles follow her every stepYet her way has been cautiously liquidated, a map freshly given
The pain, sketched so deeply that her shadow holds her hostage
I wallow, entrapped by divine laws, a role I never surrendered toBut now I stand over here looking through an empty glass
My edge lost in service, her way thrown eschewed
Theres rain between the space we know
And heart ache within our syllables
