(027) Seeing Love

My mind’s eye, it calls for love,

whisper, watching, wanting,

a sea of dreams ever flowing

                                         with salty tears.

The stars, they bloom,

night songs against a setting sky,

dancing in a ballroom

                                  couple by couple,
but one soul cannot reach…

My eyelashes bat away hope,

I turn away from all possibilities

                                               eyelids softly closing

with a realization,

you cannot have all that you see.

    You surely can't have all that you see but I find that a good thing sometimes, because it teaches you to respect the things you have. This is such a soft and tender write and I love it. It goes deep into a human mind with such beautiful wording and imagery... I can see the ballroom and the couples dancing; can feel the emotions in this piece... This is the first poem I read for this contest and it's starting to seem like a wonderful one already.

    Beautiful, beautiful work with this one. Thanks for sharing this with us!
