The wealth I had
came from the pleasure
in your eyes
Now bankrupt
These piles of glittered gems
Won't ever sparkle like them.
Truth has its ways
And in an instant
the colour of my world
left with the light
Now your eyes ever Vacant,
Cold as the dullest steel
They won't see me like they used to
You Won't hear the echoes
Of my calling,
or the dire pain of my deep remorse
You left this place
When I allowed myself to fall
And break your heart
my beautiful a'mour
Now, I sit like a beggar and a thief
Stripped of any value or respect
With new eyes peering at me.
Mine as empty as regret
vacant as the day
you saw me risk your heart.
I sit here again and again
With this pile of glittered gems
Falling through my palms;
They don't sparkle like your eyes.
Nothing compared to
the riches I was used to.
If only I could choose again
through these new eyes.
Wow...i love ur work...u dont
Wow...i love ur work...u dont hide behind shit like too much imagery and fake prose...mad props esp. This one really cut me deep...we dont know what we got till its gone
Simply amazing!
You know what they say about eyes...
"Now, I sit like a beggar and a thief
Stripped of any value or respect"
Only the fool has eyes that perceive this scene;-)
When we develop the raw gut
When we develop the raw gut self-honesty to face that the spark we see in our dearest friends and family's eyes, is but a reflection of some part of our own, we can only then open the Pandora's Box of our indwelling connection to Divine Intelligence. Wheter it be dull and lifeless, or shimmering with untold beauty and grace, it is ourselves speaking to us to take notice of that and work on it, or let it shine!
Never regret!!

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
