A vision without action is a hallucination.


I miss that distorted place called 'us'
On the border of my fragile trust
Disillusionment I ate up
Just like you did my reality

Your eyes bathed in a certain light
a gossamer figment, my heart's delight
But the luminescence left one night
and your shadow was cast on my soul

I miss your breath caught in me
your voice warped on a gentle breeze
But what was it you said to me?
Who knows, my love was louder

My hands cool on your lips
to silence words muting our bliss
But its for those words that I wish
and its quiet now, as I miss
Those things that never were

We wouldn't ask a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals; in turn we'd all celebrate its tenacity, we'd all love tz will to reach the sun well we are the roses n these are my damaged petals don't ask me why thank God and ask me how

One word: WOW! It's seriously an amazing piece. All 5 stars for sure...

Of course! I checked out your poem "Secrets" and found its honesty refreshing. I really enjoy reading your loose flow... sometimes I tend to rely on a pattern. Great job and keep it up!

We all have these things, that no one can see. They hold us down like anchors, they drown us out at sea.

I thought it was good, but may I offer one piece of advice? Well, the rhyming seems forced. It would flow better if the rhyming was hmm incidental persay? As in if it didn't sound like you went and tried to find words that rhymed...anyways keep writing you have potential(:
