I Wish You....


Sleeping Woman by Man Ray



I found myself thinking about you,
Your smell, your skin, your taste.

I could swear I have just heard you.

Oh, my!

I found a corner of my heart that wants you,
Your scent, your touch, your flavors.

I could swear I have just felt you.

My, oh my!

These are the wonders of our brains,
The magnificence of our thoughts,
The simplicity of our feelings. They're just blinded.

Blinded, deaf, amnesiac.....

Oh, my!

I found myself thinking about your flaws,
Your anger, your sadness, your emptiness.

I could swear I have heard your pain.

Oh, my!

I found a seed of resentment that despises you,
Your voice, your strength, your colors.

I could swear I have felt your punches.

My, oh my!

But I remember, after the darkness there is a light,
A light called hope.
And I lean to the benevolence of forgiveness,
a never fading  fire.
And forever holding inside a  biased truth,
Called, after omission, love.
And even disguised as a thought,
Lighting up the darkest corner of my being,
They tickle, they move inside, they burn sometimes,
The ashes......  the ashes of our fearless fire. 


These are the wonders of our brains,
The magnificence of our thoughts,
The simplicity of our feelings. They're just blinded.

Blinded, deaf, amnesiac.....
