Waterfalls Of My Thoughts

As the evening drizzle continues

Can't help but think of the contrasts in my life

Damp as the earth is, outside

Dry as the dessert my emotion is, within;

Until I heard your voice

Assuring as the calmest sea I can imagine,

Until I saw your smile

That competes with the rainbow after a storm,

Until I touched your lips

Staggered whispers in the warmth of your embrace;

... Fear as my literature

Hatred against my philosophy

Rhetoric stanzad by savagery

Cries that seem to be yesterday's mariah

Pains that were last night's rain

Healing is what the dawn cradled

Abstract emotions: to which I feel...

So sudden, your face turned away from me

Scared to see tears in my eyes that escape me from reality,

The soft silhouette of the moon

Witness to the love we had,

Now eclipsed by my saddened thoughts

For each caress echoes in my heart;

Now I make my bed a river

Because of my tears, of my sobs,

For a moment, I felt what you really are

For a moment, your words have become raindrops that fed my stream of hopes

For a moment, the wind held our souls together

Though knowing you are as rare as the unicorn in my dreams

I let go; afraid; endangered;

Of the trap, of the false mirror.

As I gaze upon the reflection of my soul

On the still waters of the unfortunate pond

This I have to say... to treasure, I did

                              ... happiness, I had

                              ... to love you forever, I will.

I have confessed the waterfalls of my thoughts.
