THE EVASIVE GLASS
Holding all the magical shimmer
A vase of continuous light
Colors of the rainbow struggling to take
turns in this light
It is quite magical, watching colors
dance in the light
This glass vase mirrors a life the world
is not ready for
My fight to resist the attraction
writhing within is a war I’m not sure I want to win
Why should I let go of this enchanted
venture that has my heart crazed?
Captivated by the twist and turns of
these charming lights
In a daze, oblivious to reality for my
eyes are already set
And my heart beats ready to dance to the
drum beats of this tune
Light is life giving or at least in this
case it is
With every tick tock of the clock and
tum-tum of the heart
The distance grows thinner and the lure
harder to fight
I am seconds away, a breath away, a
flicker of light away
But this beauty, nothing like ever
beheld, could just be a figment of my imagination.
INVISIBLE
Invisible, only felt
A swift throw, bull’s eye!
The jab and twist, no pain has ever told
Invisible to all but the beholder.
The eyes that smile, the tears that tell
The ears that hear, no comfort in the air
The heart that hearkens, naively to the
comforting winds
Invisible to all but the beholder.
A fight fought to climb out and be free
Sore throat from beaconing screams
Screams that would deafen, are but
graveyard silence to the rest
Invisible to all but the beholder.
No clear path set
No light shone to shine the way
The stab from behind competes with the
loss of worth in the spectators’ eyes
Invisible to all but the beholder.
Possible hope quickly shrivels in its
appearance
The heart’s resolve quickly tested
A mountain too high a climb and this
resolve, but a feeble infant
Invisible to all but the beholder.
IN THIS DREAM
I can scream, I can shout
I can sing, I can dance
In this dream, I can swirl like my
favorite ballerina,
I can fly.
