Tracy Edwards Poet Free verse

Eyes Wide Open

~**~

There are somethings in my mind
Things even I don't want to find
I want paint the town grey
Instead of red
In the ebony shadow of yesterday

When did this these walls begin bleeding
Like the lunar eclipse and the burnt red sky
Red like your lovers lips.

Dangling salvation in front of their noses
Smelling black roses
Time like tomorrow just out of reach
Chrome stars a million miles away.

Close your eyes from hidden scars
You're color blind...

I blow to the silver moon a liar's kiss
Yesterdays memories so blue
Contentedly picking up the pieces of today.

~**~

Sean L Sanders January 30, 2013 at 9:17 AM Very touching excellent poem written by a very good poet. I saw that there's another poet named Margherita Russo she's only 14 and I know it would mean alot for her to have you read her newest poem if you have the time. Thank you very much.
