i ask...(poetry)

i only see
because i have eyes,
but they were created...


and yes!
i love what i see
though my heart blackens...


but no!
i see what i love
then i might be blind...


i didn't love
because i saw
but because i heard...


three lines
with three dots
are you looking?


if i love you...
then it's a riddle
i have a thousand answers to


but i'm without
the tongue to say
and further within my stitched lips...


footsteps through my heart,
feet to my love,
boots to my sugarberry garden...


alone,
but you stand by me.
hmm, winds lie...


riddle, riddle
is this a riddle?
sadly, i can't say...

SMILE AGAIN... (a poem)

if i could find you
if i had you
there'll be nights
without darkness


if i should find you
i would search through the memories
engraved in my heart
never to fade away


i remember the night
i placed your hand
on my chest..
you felt the throb of a sincere heart


i remember the words i spoke
i remember the look in your eyes...
if i could find you
i will tell you that my heart still throbs


is it too late
that i find you?
not in the nights we kissed
but through the times
we saw a future in 'us'...


through the times
i looked into your eyes
and saw a person
who would have dried
the least tear in my eyes


if i could find you
i will find me
and place in your life
the love you never 'really' felt


if i could find you
then i could find me
but if you find me
i will be right there
in the crescent where love is 'really' felt
waiting to see you smile again...
