Eye To Eye

The stars in the midnight sky never fail to shine so bright Gazing in the beauty of the night… lost in thought The breeze of majestic wonders swept over us tonight She said, “I want to kill myself” Think of your daughter… You’ll be missing out on so many great accomplishments Don’t say, “Whatever…” I feel this urge to tell you that everything will be alright to crush that depression God will show you the true direction Taking a giant leap of faith, we pressed forward, conquering all doubts – free will living to by the grace from above Mesmerizing delight is enveloped in your eyes of emerald forests Trying my best to look the other way, but your shine combines with mine She said, “I’m tired of waiting” Think of being more patient You’ll get to walk with us sooner or later I need to wear my sweater I feel this bottomless, bitter guilt, coursing inside of me If only I could be your key To unlock eternal bliss… And scorch away your hopelessness Flashes of your greatest unmask the veil that held my eyes shut The glory from within outshines the stars Your heart is heavy with grief suddenly... I’m walking up the stairs, Thinking that no one cares If I run away and never be found, Paradise would be far from my reach God’s love is what I beseech Let go of me, pity and grief… Do me a favor and marry relief Relief blankets your body...you're recovering right before my very eyes Do me a favor and sift out the lies and goodbyes For once, we now see eye to eye

It's been a while since I last read a poem from you, David and I must say that there's a different air to this compared to your other pieces. You sound more mature now and more in control of your once haywire yet incredibly unique poetic voice.
