I could recognize
that look anywhere;
soft eyes glazed over
like milky hope.
That meandering,
aimless,
longing stare,
haunted by
hollow memories
and stale dreams
that don't quite
play out
the way they
used to.
They tell me
I have kind eyes,
but I could recognize
that look anywhere.

Forever and Always, Window
Your eyes see right through me,
into fathoms, and beyond the trees.
I have always done my best
to be transparent and honest,
and let you see how much of this world
I'm truly protecting you from.
Sometimes I let in the tiniest of drafts,
whispers of forever winds
meant to rouse and stir your soul.
I do not resent you
for closing the curtains;
today the rains are heavy,
and tomorrow the sun too bright.
We can turn a blind eye together,
while you carve hearts into hot breath.
I will be your pane. -

We bathe in slate grays of melancholy spring,
and try to coax the gentle wind
into forgetting our names for just a bit.
We tiptoe on the harmonies
between our breaths,
and sleep in hammocks made of sighs.
We lay here in the roaring hush of pitter-pats;
letting our fingertips dance
in alternating circles of want and need.
You, me, forever.
The best dream I've ever had. -

Love Always, Mirror
I see the ways you look at me,
and sometimes it hurts.
I only show you what you want to see,
Whether you believe it or not.
Both those eyes, they've been so cold;
unblinking, tear stained, heavy.
I reflect often, when you're not around,
On all of the thoughts behind your stares,
But I just don't understand
Just what it is you see in me.
I've never let you down.
I've never walked away.
I've never been anything but honest.
See me for what I am, my darling.
I am everything you wish to be,
And nothing you've never seen before.
I've watched you grow, watched you fall,
Watched you wonder what today will hold;
See me for who I am, my dearest,
The wholesome, unbroken you. -

Sincerely, Bed
You rose again today.
I've stopped counting,
stopped hoping really,
that eventually you'd stop.
I love holding you, your body,
your aches and writhing groans.
Your perfected rolls and somersaults
Are wonders to behold,
all the while, with eyes closed
and thoughts elsewhere.
And so I lay with you,
comforting, cacooning, caressing.
I want your warmth back, your love.
I need your skin to entangle
every crease of my reach.
Please don't ever leave me.
Please don't turn on the light.
But if you do, don't fret, my love.
I'll be here, waiting for our next embrace,
to keep you, until light comes again. -
whisp3rs 174w
Yours Truly, Pillow
You've laid your somber mind upon me
And though I've done my best to soften the landing
The weight of your thoughts has grown
Far too vast to hold.
I've whispered dreams into your ears,
Soft lullabies and tempered memories
Of days when being awake
Offered more than breathless nightmares.
I have held your head aloft
For countless nights, and endless days
And I've let you hold me
As tight as grips could muster.
I will always be here,
Laying, waiting, holding your fears while you slumber
And I will never them go. -

|Muse|
You are the moon in my sky,
I said.
What I meant was,
you are my light in the dark,
a heavenly body adrift
in unworthy skies.
You are the pull of my tides,
keeping me balanced
between harsh lows
and fevered highs.
You are perpetual, stoic beauty,
and I will follow you into eternity. -
whisp3rs 177w
|Dawn|
Wax and wane, my little moon;
I will watch you rise to heights
that set my broken heart.
Grow and catch the light that burns
with twinkles, flares and warmth.
Wear the dawn like golden robes,
and settle into peace.
Triumph in the edgless dark
where desperation bites at fingers,
and I will linger just a bit more
to watch you while you slumber. -
whisp3rs 178w
Being brave isn't a lifestyle;
it is a single moment of defiance,
where doubtless hope
shines a hole
through the ceaseless dark,
just long enough
to take another step.
|Single Moment|

Keep the courage to flipping through some pages of life.A sinistrous chapter
Thee shattered my mind,
And called it a dandelion.
Thee plucked my peace,
And called it a rose.
Thee ignored my presence,
And called me a star.
Thee caged me forever,
And called me a dove.
Yet I kept asking myself,
why didn't I abandoned you.
Why was it so hard for me,
To flip through the pages
when I had the chance to,
And call you a chapter
With a sinistrous aura?

Writerstolli Challenge: Re-arrange titles from our favorite books/movies. My favorite books come from our beautiful talented writers here on Mirakee. Thank you all for amazing writings.
#title_wt #writerstolli @writersnetwork #writersnetwork @mirakee @loverenay @frowzy @kinky_eskimo @jlr_writer @laughing_soul @michaeleaborn @whisp3rsLet the dark speak,
The crimson kisses,
Held with silent tears,
In the private collection,
Of our scars,
While we join our H.A.N.D.s
With one another,
And kneel down,
2 Prayer,
Allowing our poetry
To heal each other's hearts.

Thousand years
Time quietly flowing by
Like a distant breeze through me
Cursed in a nameless pain
Binded by desperate threads
With a knot at every pace
Waiting from a thousand years
For a miraculous dream to come true
In a beat my mind blanked out
Millions of emotions rushed through me
And pulled me out of my delusions
And my heart throbbed warmly
For the very first time I remember
Our gaze softly collided
And a million of lost memories
Splashed against like a sea wave
And washed away my every sin
A warm, glittering sun rose
Against my dark, lost self
And formed a beautiful silhouette
That lasted for the next
Of my thousand years

Be You...
The sun is setting and I feel the cold seeping into my bones. I couldn't move...there I stood,breathing smoke into the sky. The sky grew darker and the thought fell upon me.
Over these years,I've sacrificed so much in hope that I would find happiness. I wasted so much of my time searching for it,that I missed what was with me all along.
The happiness I searched for was within me. All around me.
I just had to open up my eyes to see it. -
I'm just tired of everything.
Tired of the fake smiles.
Tired of the true cries.
Tired of comforting others.
Tired of being a gentleman.
Tired of all sweet words.
Tired of almost every thing around.
Quitting was never my choice.
Hope it's not the only one..
I'm left with....

Ghost
Ink blot stains
On fingertips
Licking lightly
Fingerprints
Memories
Of morning mist
And midnights in his arms
Ticking clocks
And always socks
Sheets and dragon's breath
Ghosts of never
And yet
I'm dying for his arms
And so sweet death I beg of thee
Free me from my misery
Take from me this memory
Breaths and sighs
And only he
Darkness bring and stop
In me
The beating of my heart
For what good is beating
Breathing
Life
What good is needing
Wanting
Knife
Is better buried deep within
The aching
Breaking
Needless
Thing
That once and always beats
For him
Ghost of love, of night.....

It was(n't)
It wasn't just the sex
It was the stillness of time
When souls collide
And planets cease
When bodies turn to star dust
And memories decease
It was kiss of life and death
And breath
It was beat and stomp and pull
It was knowing you existed
And living life
Anew
It was
Everything
And all and always
And I'm dead inside
Because
He's gone
And all I'm left holding
Is ghost hands and
A gun.....
