Hollow Ground
Like the effluent rose, failing to blossom,
I am stranded
With no defence I sit and wait for the inevitable storm that will strip me of all my colour
All my emotion
All my life
Rain cascades like tears down my withering body.
Battered by the elements as i stare at the ground, waiting for it to consume me
I am weak
I had faith once, i used to admire the ocean of blue above
My beauty is still ever present, but it’s invisible to most
I am invisible
The world that we live in is a picture of serenity, but the earth is filled with parasites
Preying on the weak as they make their way to the top
Forgetting all they once were
Staying true to yourself is a dying art
And not everything is how it appears before us
But even though i’m suffering,
I am still a rose
And I am still beautiful
And we saw each other
First glance – stunning
Never knew my heart could play
Until I felt it drumming
Smiles damned contagious
Conversation artfully lively
Time never flies this quick
What is this feeling thriving?
The beauty of silence so strange
Dawns an energy never awakened
Star filled skies dance around us
Insecurities temporarily forsaken
I watch you sleeping.
So silent, so still, so perfect.
An incredible sight to behold.
My eyes fill in marvel;
Driving the longing for your speckled blues,
That dance in life with mine.
Until morning breaks, I'll cherish you.
With the ever so quiet night as my parnter;
In our secret adoration.
