It was the darkness
I couldn't escape
I couldn't escape
haunted by lies
sleeping with ghosts
yet, it was that weight
of a thousand broken promises
that led me to you
when I saw nothing
you gave me a kaleidoscope
suddenly every light,
every reflection
became every you,
every me
my black
turned into a million little pieces of color:
reds, yellows, oranges, magentas, purples
you showed me this picture
of endless possibilities
and my darkness melted away
you gave me second sight:
a unique vision
of a colorful world
that we held in our hands.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful....when you see the light, you see the entire spectrum!! Love this!! Also such a sad loss of a beautiful singer and soul, Michael Johns, still miss him.
ReplyDeleteI know. I was deeply saddened when I heard of his passing. It was so tragic and he was so young, with such a bright future ahead of him :(
DeleteMelancholy rains it seems, and melancholy reigns supreme,
ReplyDeletewhen you wield;
decisions you've made, divisions on parade, I'm afraid
not to yield.
Obviously, you've got this, well under control.
This is lovely, Dollface!

Many responses to your gorgeous words. It is leading me to personify, to ponder who is "you." For me, it might well be Fall!
ReplyDeleteLoving the vision. We all need a kaleidoscope sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSecond sight is such a beautiful thing. 7 points, Earthling!
