18/30 National Poetry Month Challenge

Morning love
Love mornings
Waking with you on my mind
Thankful for the times
Coming that I'll be holding
You in my embrace
Instead
Time has had it's way with us
Yet it seems like
Distance has placed
Miles upon miles
Between my tears
And our smiles
Pictures in frames
Pixels and tweets
Lips locked is but a memory
Bittersweet

Eye Dreams

I write poetry
and love is my theme
it tells a story
that comes to life
every night in my
dreams
I'm a dreamer
but meaning and purpose
line my eyelids
when I'm deep in sleep
affection is my aim
my heart is set
to directly direct
an arrow with
passion dipped like poison
to connect and calm
the flight that lays wait
inside
of you
run a little longer knowing
you can't hide forever
and when you stop
my love will cause you
to wonder why you ever ran
from me
the dream will become your
reality
love will paint a memory
upon the canvas of your heart
and we'll be stuck like glue
the kind with
supernatural strength
that holds grains of sand
together.

Peeping Out

Keeping my eyes on the prize
When the only way I can see it
Shine is when they're shut
Because my optic nerve
Electrified has captured

The illumination
Through the lens of sight
One last time
Keeping my eyes on the prize
Laughter of a different kind
Found in the
Vitreous humor
My smile is vision
Helping me make informed decisions
I'm a pupil of life
Iris pays attention
While lens flexes muscle
To keep the prism of
Perspective's precision
Keeping my eyes on the prize
When the only way I can see it
Shine is when they're shut!
