About You, About Me.

About You

Eyes speaking truth

Eyes hiding shame,

Asking for forgiveness. 

Lost soul,

Sailing alone

Through the fearful seas 

Of your pricking conscience;

Seeking for shelter

From your own tears

Somewhere...

Daydreaming about the currents

Your burdens create as you sail,

Pushing you forwards

Towards the shore

As you leave them behind.

Rebellious nous

Escapes worldly heartbeats

Aware of  the dark secrets

Lying within them

Reflecting truth from within,

Though Too blind to behold. 

Disobedient mentation

Keeps you sailing

Inquisitive...

About Me

Eyes verbalizing truth

Eyes ditching sadness,

Running after a sign.

Lost soul

Flittering per se

Across the ghastly firmament

Of my own memories,

Seeking for shelter

From my own tears

Somewhere...

Envisioning the weight

That pushes my burdens down

As I go up, high, high and away.

Rebellious nous

Evading secular life

Aware of the dark secrets

Lying within it

Reflecting the intrinsic truth, 

Though too numb to feel it.

Feverish judgment

Keeps me fluttering

Inquisitive... 

About You & Me

Reproach 

Of our fears and dreams.

Your words:

My motto,

Your ideals.

Myself:

Reliance&Trust, 

Utopia.

Us:

Fraternal&Affable

Beings.

Kin.

Mutual Disappointment

Of our inner reflections.

Disillusions from what we were

Reconciliation&Hope.

You:

Source of feelings

Source of life

After sentimental apathy.

Path to what I am;

Myself:

Wishes 

Of you turning on 

Your internal light,

Seeing without fear

Finding lone truth,

Unaccompanied,

In the deepest corner  

Of your remote self.

Us:

Elsewhere

Distant

Apart

Begone.

Inevitable.

Invisibly marked,

By the mirror

We were to ourselves,

Broken...
