Eyes, like the heavens, powdered blue

Sadness, crept its way into

Lips, as pale as palest pink

I watched, but ne’er did she blink

Her beauty, was so well concealed

Hidden, yet, it was revealed

Behind the mask, a haunted being

Wide eyed, she remained unseeing

Sympathize ~ #poetry

I wanted to be sympathetic

Her eyes glazed over in tears

I wanted to comfort her through it

But I couldn’t get rid of the fears

She’d battled so many demons

They kept at her, time and again

Hopelessly, she had given up

There was no way she could win

She glanced at me in the mirror

I looked away, I couldn’t take it

Why did this always happen to me?

Is there a chance I’ll never make it?

I’ve wiped away tears, forgotten the fears

Though it happens, on and off, through the years

Dry are my eyes, I’ve stifled the cries

But never shall I be able to sympathize

There is so much beauty in the eye of a tiger

Though this beauty, unsurpassed, by the beast itself

Different ~ #poetry

It’s funny how people see things

So differently than we

Imagine if we saw the same

How boring life would be

Nodding in agreement, no

Words would never rhyme

Sunrise, sunset, moonlight glow

It happens all the time

Never underestimate

Another’s endless thoughts

Listen closely, to their words

And trust, it’s not for naught

Discover where they come from

And what they need to say

See the world, through other’s eyes

Before it slips away
