In My Own Minds' Eye

Dark rooms glow brightly whenever you enter.

People look round at you as you walk by.

Distance means nothing as our bond grows deeper.

You are perfection in my own mind’s eye.

Laughter surrounds you making your eyes shine.

I see your face in the clouds in the sky.

I feel so warm in the light of your sweet love.

You are perfection in my own mind’s eye.

My body tingles whenever you touch me,

And when you kiss me my heart starts to fly.

I long for kisses to go on forever.

You are perfection in my own mind’s eye.

Money means nothing if you are still near me.

Diamonds and gold lose their shine by and by.

Your worth to me will keep growing forever.

You are perfection in my own mind’s eye.

Please let it be now that we stay together.

Let us be happy from now till we die.

Safe and secure in our love for each other.

We are perfection in our own mind’s eye.

Thoughts

Sleep eludes me, not all the time, but now and then.

 It’s never expected.

The night stretches endlessly before me.

Taunting me mercilessly.

Thoughts go round and round my head like a carousel.

Which one will win?

Every so often one pops out as though on a coiled spring.

Another one has surfaced, I am sure.

It fills every nook and cranny in the room, so there is no escape.

He doesn’t say, though the signs scream out.

It sits on my shoulder and whispers its bile into my ear.

Things I don’t want to hear – he still wants her, needs her.

Sometimes it screams so loud I feel that everyone can hear it.

You’re not good enough!

I’m amazed he doesn’t hear it or wake!

It makes me weep hot acidic tears that burn my eyes and my cheeks.

Will they ever stop surfacing?

My throat closes and aches as I try to stifle the sobs this heartbreaking thought provokes.

Will it always be like this?

Then slowly it goes on its cruel way.

It gives me some sweet respite.

Let sleep come to me now, and let me rest.

So I can prepare for the next to come along.
