Poems for the Mellow and the Hopeful

iris

With scarlet lips, and with wide eyes

I found fabricated and contrived lies

I searched for the soul underneath

The pain was raw, it was hard to breathe

At first it was bliss then it was gone

I yearned for you but now I have none

In my dreams you kissed me

But even just your shadow is not a reality

You walked with me, we traversed this place

Your presence lingers, heaven is your face

I thought I can so I reached out for you

Funny now's dark, when we started with hue

I'd like to feel, to hear, to see again

I'd look up above, ask Him for a bargain

Your soul reflected velvet and blue

I'll stay awake because I miss you
