Shaded Heart

In the shade of night
You hide amidst the trees
Broken from a passing thought
That never left your mind

The lifeless colour of grey and black
Haunt me like a photograph
A story behind our stilled result
With inanimate emotion swirled

The colourless stain of blood
From a heart broken with tears
Left open and cold for all
Screaming for a soothing hand

A lighted array of thought
Tainted with insecurity and desire
Of that love I once felt
That I sent but never received

You strive so hard,
To see what’s not there.
You begin conjure,
As you sit there and stare

Of glory and riches,
And greatness of all kind,
But what you are really seeing
Is only your mind.

Still you move left and right,
To get a better view,
Of the great glory and power,
That only exists in you.

Your blind faith has taken you,
And from that comes no relief.
But pain and sorrow,
Lay still at your feet.

But those who seek,
The truth behind it all,
They have true riches
They shall not fall.

For the answers lie,
Not in the answers themselves,
But in the question asked,
Just look within yourself.

I dreamed another dream of you
And I’m wondering what this means
Yesterday’s strangers brought together
Over something I have yet to define

I can picture you in my mind
Your smile beckoning me to come
Your eyes promising a new love
My feet are running, but heart delay

I think I need a friend right now
Someone to confide my fears to
Someone to hold when I’m alone
And thank you for being there
