Seeing Visions of the Future

I only see what’s in front of me,
                     And only time will tell what my
                     Eyes will see. But if I’m blinded
                     By the luminous light of the future
                     My sight will no longer be. so I
                     Constantly set my watch back,
                     Because I’ve found that’s the key.
                     It is the key to the present,the
                     present that keeps giving,it
                     Gives so I can keep living,I live
                     So I can keep getting, getting
                     Visions of the future. The future 
                     That I will never see again,
                     Because my life doesn’t start
                      Until the end.

Happy Endings

Happy Endings
                Do you believe in fairy tales?
     That is something my mother always asked me 
before                                                        
     I drifted off  to the sound of her loving, placid voice.
     But I never gave her an answer. So unsure of what my 
     Life would come to be. Now thinking back, I’m so very
     Grateful to myself for neglecting to respond. For now I
     Am not so certain that she would see me as something to  
     Be satisfied of with. Maybe it wouldn’t exactly be me,
     However, something within me. I know this to be a fact,
     Because what I see in the eye of my soul is a reflection of 
     Who I long to be. my derelict heart has shattered into a 
     Trillion pieces, and hope seems to have run away from the
     Home, the home that I have built for it inside of  me. now 
     I am hopeless. snow white without her dwarfs.
                                     Cinderella without her glass slipper.
                                                           The princess without her pea.
                                     Where’s my happy ending?

A Lovers Quilt

….And so I write to you, my love.

                         Hell has kept you from me.

                         Burning more than bridges,

                                  Its set my heart. 
                                        Ablaze.

            
                        Now I’m only filled with them.

                             All of those wintry memories.

                              I’ve kept them with me, I

                                    Vividly remember
                                          You. Snow


                             I think back everyday to times.

                              Times when I thought I knew,

                                  I knew you’d come, back.
                                                 To me


    Now distant patterns in a lovers quilt, my passion fades…
