Focus

I want to be in love

But the picture is out of focus

I search for

The red roses

And blue violets

The pink blushes

And white dresses

Yet find nothing but

Blurry water ridden grey

Swirled for endless years

The picture is out of focus

Almost making ideas

But never quite contorting

Tricking my mind

With sweet longing

The blurry lines

Static on a pubescent screen

Swimming aimlessly

Falling from here

To over there

But never landing

The nervous idea

Always but fleeting

Never resting long enough

To take color

The picture is out of focus

Or so I thought

Maybe I just haven't

Opened my eyes
