All I Can Be

Outside 
My window pane
Rain falls 
Days Undo 
Time Itself

Sun light
Morning ends
Nights fall
Lastly 
I give
Into You

Ruminants 
I start to Forget them
Mirrors, Luggage 
I’m leaving without you
Time sees what we cannot 

My eyes lie open
Across your chest
with visions to blurry to see
Is this all that I can be
This illusion 
Is all that I can see
It’s All that I can’t be 

More than more 
I remain unchanged
And you dear 
Always stay the same
Downstairs
Too slowly 
I chase 
un-doubtly 

My emptiness
Has filled you  
Ghostly 
I step closer 
To what we shared

Sometimes 
The oceans 
And images
Call to me 
Winding into 
Treasures 
Hidden 
Beyond 
your eyelids

Secrets are so rare 
Behind my curtains 
I’m open to all things 
Until you sooth me
As your voice sings 
All that I can hear

As eyes lie open
Across your chest
a visions to blurry to see
Is this all that I can be
This illusion 
Is all that I can see
It’s All that I can’t be
