Original Poem by me

mind racing
time blurring
missing you
chasing myself
searching rooms
finding loss

Mirror

This week's Theme Thursday is Mirror. I'm a day late, but here goes:

I look without seeing
into my own eyes
what do people see?
I don't know the whole
just pieces of me
hair, lips, eyebrows
not a face but facets
I am cheated
When, how will I watch
my own eyes change color?

Theme Thursday - Stage

lights calling
"come out"
forget yourself
inside stolen souls
bought with applause
heart pounding
breaking
sweet, sweet moments
lingering
curtains close

-by me

lag time

hearing The Time Warp
a distant hum in my brain
thinking of slips and rips
tripping over missing moments
racing clocks and blocks on the calendar
three weeks passed quickly to become past
where did they go?

-by me

Just Five More Minutes Please?

give me more
I crave it
the wanting
too strong to resist
I can't wait
for more
the heaviness
the dark
the comfort
the rest
let me have it back
the inside of my eyelids.

-by me

A little Thursday poem

I love today
the light is just a little gray
it colors the views
and softens winter hues
what little sky peeks through
is brighter in its blue
the promise of rain
will not cause me to complain
I love today
and the comfort of gray
