With These Eyes

With my eyes,
What did you see?
Did you see the darkness
Of perpetual night,
As slowly it danced
Upon moonlit thoughts?

With my arms,
Where did you reach?
Did you reach for the stars
That shine at night?
Did you reach out
To touch your dreams
As slowly,
Gently,
They fell to the ground,
Softly dancing
Upon a breeze?

With my eyes,
Did you look in the mirror?
Did you see the emptiness
Of my tortured soul,
Torn apart by life,
As slowly I walk
Through eternal darkness?

Yet, with your eyes,
I can see the light.
I can see the hope
That each new day brings.

Night Dancer

She reaches out to touch the sky,
As clouds fly high on rainbow dreams,
Dancing upon a slumbered sigh.
She reaches out to touch the sky,
As Darkness rules from there on high,
Filling the night with silent screams.
She reaches out to touch the sky,
As clouds fly high on rainbow dreams.

Winter Dreams

It’s cold in here,

Dark,

Yet here I stand

Alone in the shadows

Of cruel night.

I hear the silence

Of cruel winds

Softly whispering

Through silver trees,

As winter dreams

Dance upon my heart.

I reach out

To catch a dream,

Yet there’s nothing there.

Butterfly Tears

Why do I cry

When butterflies fly?

Their soft wings embrace

The sweet light of day,

As slowly they dance

Upon nature’s dreams,

Yet dreams have no

place in my heart.

Only darkness lives there,

Playing with the memories

Of days long ago.

As butterflies pass,

I close my eyes

And watch them dance

Upon my dreams.

Yet, why do I cry?

Before the Storm

BEFORE THE STORM.

Before the storm,

She rests a while,

Taking refuge

In the darkness

Of her dreams.

Before the storm,

She plays a while,

Dancing with the embers

Of the dying day.

Before the night,

She stands alone,

In the silence

Of her darkened room.

Before the shadows

Of night descend,

She whispers tears

Into the wind.

Beneath the clouds

Of tainted light,

She holds a dream

Within her hand,

Yet it’s fractured,

Torn apart

By the shadows

Of a distant past.
