Before

The sun set fire to the autumn trees
Good evenning tease
Before the wind takes the leaves

Cotton candy clouds blanket the sky
Kissing childlike eyes
Before saying goodnight

Whispering moon slips into the night
Collecting bad dreams
Before allowing for fright

Heavy lids fall, lashes kissing both cheeks
Seperating worlds
Before the alarm clock piques

Take in as much beauty as you can
before you lay down to sleep.

No Resistance

A droplet of water
Peers over the edge
Slithering
Quivering
Slowly inching towards death

Slipping
Not resisting
To fall into a mess

Gone missing
Yet followed
By all of the rest

Connection

I miss those long talks

       filled with random thoughts

I miss the mystery

      in connecting your dots

Behind the Lens

All that beauty
Beaming in perfect light
Cascading shadows of mystery
But nobody sees
The beauty in the mystery
Of the eyes behind the lens

Soon

When hopes and dreams
Are soon to come
I rise to face
The morning sun

Just when you think you will soon fall asleep, the sun decides to come out.

Passing By

The stoplight turns green
though, I don't move
Hypnotized
by a falling feather
gently floating by
    And just as it meets the ground
      like ******* snapped in my
face
   Robotically, my toe pushes the gas
   and I am back,
   back to simply passing by

I haven't written in a while, and this happened to me today and right after I recited this to myself in my head and had to write it down.

All One

I stand

  in front

    of you

I can see,

  See...

... Me

Now is it all so

    true?

All of you...

...is all of me?

Deep within

    your layers

      of skin

Reflecting;

  inner self,

    myself,

      my dear

        friend

Where do I begin?

     I am you,

And you are me

Everyone else:

too blind to see

        That

We're all One,

        Truly

The people in our lives are merely mirror reflections of bits and pieces of our inner self...
Like puzzle pieces we are to one another... in the end, we are all just one giant puzzle.
(The puzzle analogy just now made me think to write a seperate poem on that too... hmm...)
