When we see ourselves
Briefly through another's eyes
Still we are jealous
For we long to be inside
What the outside world can see...

Shoes are
the prison that protects
and they encage our feet
yet they have kind soles which
shield us from the painful outside world

Living in my own reality

Where the outside world I see through my fantasy eyes

Dreaming of love

To be succumb to the actual coldness of reality...

cold hands and cold feet
disperse as our lips connect 
outside world shut out
we don’t require an island 
to create our reverie

I press my face 
against 
the window glass
like a small fish 
in a large fish tank
looking out

swimming  
in lukewarm water 
watching 
the outside world
rush by

without a wave...

two hearts unfolding

close their eyes to outside world

no longer apart

Autonomy thus selflessness,
Propagating within my independent self,
Drenching my soul with ignorance
Of wisdom, for the outside world
Is not sought…
Identifying myself, as
I encrust myself amid my shadow…...

Just as I lost my footing
And the dirt slipped loosely 
I felt my body my life tumbling backward
My arms flailing before me
And then your hand
Keeping me grounded
Into your arms
Shielded from the harm of the outside world...

beyond its world

A bird that is kept cage,
Will not know the outside world,
When it escapes from its home,
It has no clue what's beyond its home,
So the bird fears fly's to a near by tree.

Eyes on the inside

Dreaming of the outside world

Safer to be there

Than to be found wandering

On an endless inner sea.

I've built up walls, high walls. 

I kept on building those until it became a castle. 

A castle made up of only walls. 

A castle without windows, 

without doors,

without an opening to the outside world.

I am stucked and locked inside my own castle.

A desolated and cold castle....

Sometimes when I'm silent
I really want to scream,
I'm holding hurt in,
Try hard not to show my emotions
Because if I do
I may never regain composure again.
I'm living on a knife edge,
I have to push the feelings down,
Keep them hidden
From the outside world.
I don't want pity,
I just want your love....

I hold it close to me.

Both it and I warming our spirits.

Building the passion within.

Staring in trance.

Pupils widened with anticipation.

Awaiting the moment of release.

To let the angels of sound escape me.

So I may elevate the outside world.

Listening to my unexplained musical impulses....

Cold.
That's all I feel now.
No warmth.  
No light to direct me on the selected path that is my fate.
My spirit is slowly losing its touch to the vast outside world.
Will I ever stop looking for a replacement light?
Will my spirit ever roam freely again?
Will the cold go away?
That absolutely unforgiving cold?...

I heard your voice
come ringing out
It came with a whisper
instead of a shout

It told me the price
of life
That I'd have to pay
So I plugged up my ears
until the outside world
went away

I didn't heed the warning
so now I struggle 
every day

Maybe I'll start listening
again
When the whole world
just goes
away...

I felt as though I was inside a giant pipe,
that had seats, tables, foods, and drinks,
as it did its best to tie the world,
into some kind of a giant rubber ball.
I saw the outside world changing before my eyes,
as though the four seasons were were happening at once!
It was the best journey of my life!

Reading was his sanctuary
From noise
From worry
From fear
He could curl up in the tiny spaces
Tucked between the words and pages
Of a book
Dream with the characters
Run with the plot
Imagine the illusions.

In his mind
The outside world
With its annoyances 
Loud talk
Racing engines
Flying jets 
Artificial deadlines
Could run without him....

Shadows, remnants of lights;
tear drops of loneliness upon
a window pane of truth. The 
outside world, so unblemished; 
its only flaw, the window pane
we look through. 

Clouds turn dark, a loud roar
as it shakes the glass. How angry 
it is, how real it is. Loneliness, 
when will the lightning strike?
When will the shadows not dance?...

Tears flow; it knows the fear will grow

Locked in its chamber, wallowing in misery
Haunted by visions of failure
Doomed to a fate only it can see

Watching as the outside world passes by
Trapped with its reflection
Screaming it must die

Too high above to be touched by any other
Tragic creature
Never to know the actions of the lover...

Here I stand 
on an amber mountain 
under a weeping sky 
against the shouting wind, 
trying to hold on 
to the only channel 
that connects me
to the outside world. 

Where all vegetations lean 
to the wind's direction, 
I stand straight 
trying to brave 
the blows.
