I lay in the grass looking at the sun
my face flushed, eyes twinkling green
I can feel the wind brush my sunkissed cheeks
and bring back to me all that was done
Gently the wind lifts my hair
and I close my eyes in retreat
I take a deep breath and open my eyes
and let the wind take me to its lair
Slowly floating, I wonder when it was
that I started to give in without a care
but backing out is not an option
for already I'm floating like a dove
I brush the hair off my face and sigh
as the wind carries me away
my breath hitches and I know I'm up high
and the wind brushes away all I have to say
Suddenly I sit in a small dark room
where nothing makes me feel at home
instead I feel eternal doom
at these intense feelings of being alone
I look around but the grass is gone
nothing soft left for me to lay upon
I look up but the ceiling blocks the sky
now I can only dream so high
My cheeks burn a crimson red
no more wind to say what it's said
I gaze down to find a way to leave
and find another person laying down by a tree
Her face is flushed, eyes twinkling blue
as she lays there without a care
and then as was it all becomes true
suddenly my heart's stripped bare
I watch as she closes her eyes, and takes in a deep breath
with her hair all over her face
and suddenly I think of death
like my life is one big race.
She has become who I am
and for that I am scared
for I know what I have caused
because I never cared.
The wind on her face is no apology at all
just a trail to retrace my fall
yet unlike with me, there was a twist of fate
that took away all feelings of hate
Till this day, the dark room is still dark
as i lay here thinking of it all
and still the feelings weigh down on my heart
and no one's there to catch me when I fall
There's no more grass, or eyes that twinkle bright
just a deep void that's taken salvation out of sight
everyone who I thought was once there
is another thing that's been stripped bare
for now lays the blue eyed girl
who once was a flower ready to unfurl
and still in this dark room, my heart torn
I sit here, scared, for i know i am this flower's thorn.
This was wonderful! I felt the ethereal lightness and beauty of the beginning, the claustrophobia in the middle and the hurt at the end. Your comment on not making sense...I have to disagree with you. To me at least, this made a world of sense. Once again, wonderful!
Hi,
This poem does make sense. Everyone interprets a poem in their own way. What I read might not be what the next person reads. The poem has some real insight. Keep writing.
