THE MIND’S EYE

The mind’s eye.

Portals to our souls.

Our words can hide our lies,

but our eyes can’t.

MY EYES SEE

Source:dollysgothworld

My eyes see the light beyond

where humans hurry to and fro.

My eyes see the darkness inside

where humans have no pride.

They fight and attack each other

with no regard for their species.

They rant and rave over their passions

with little concern for the welfare of others.

My eyes see the good and the bad,

leaving me all too sad.

Meow.

SIT ALONE IN THE DARK

SIT ALONE IN THE DARK

“I sit alone in the dark.
I hear voices around me.
Sounds of movement.
Sounds of life.

I reach out.
I can feel the smoothness.
A plate.
A meal.

Smells waft by my nose.
Aromas of chicken.
Sweet smells of pudding.
Smells of life.

What color is the food?
Is the sun shining in?
Are the faces around me young or old?
So many questions.

Questions I can’t answer.
I can never answer.
For I am blind,
Have been blind for years.”

The anguish my mother faced
For most of her life.
Her sight stolen from her
At a young age.

Loss of sight.
Loss of colors.
Loss of faces.
Loss of memories.

INVISIBLE

Do you feel invisible?
No one is listening to you.
No one remembers you exist.
At times, we all feel this way.
Join the invisible crowd.

BEAUTY

Life is beautiful.
Look around.
There’s beauty everywhere.
In every flower.
In each blade of grass.
And in each and every insect.
Too much to take in at a glance.
But no one bothers to notice.
Birds.
Flowers.
Ocean.
Fish.
Clouds.
Sun.
All around us.
See the beauty.
Take in the beauty.
Appreciate the beauty.

HEAVEN’S GATE

The sky is pink overhead.

I will try to lift my head.

Waves lap at the shore.

There can’t be much more.

I can feel the sand.

Please give me your hand.

I must see this before it’s too late

And I am waiting at heaven’s gate.

LOST TO THIS WORLD

I’ve seen what I should’ve have seen.

My eyes won’t close for sleep.

My heart refuses to stop racing.

My tears have dried up.

My blood boils hot and steamy.

I’m lost to this world.

I’ll soon be one with the next.

FACELESS

Brian Connelly

What are we without our faces?

Without our distinctive features.

No eyes to see the morning sun.

No mouth to sing a lullaby.

No nose to smell baking cookies.

We would be mere strokes of color.

A dripping rainbow of hues.

CREATURE OF THE NIGHT

He comes in the dark night.

Before the morning light.

Grey is the color of his large eyes.

He can see as far as the crow flies.

He is a gorgeous creature of the night.

He is much too scary upon first sight.

As I courageously draw near.

He backs away to disappear.

DARKNESS IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND

1. 
   

   

   
   
   DARKNESS IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND
   
   A room full of books.
   You can feel them with your fingertips.
   But you can’t see a single word.
   Your senses are sensitized.
   Every single noise is amplified.
   But you can’t see light.
   Or colors.
   You are blind.
   In a world full of color.
   Your fingertips lead you.
   Your senses guide you.
   Darkness is your only friend.
   
   

MIRROR MIRROR

MIRROR MIRROR

Can you see your demons?
What you hide inside.
From others.
From the world.
Fire and heat.
Revenge and blood lust.
Hidden inside.
Is it reflected in your face?
Look closer.
Look deeper.
Can you see it?
I can.

BE MY BEACON

There is a mist.
I can't see.
All is blurry.
But yet,
I can see you.
You stand before me,
as clear as the light of day.

You are my beacon.
My hope.
Wait for me,
my love.
I will walk to you.
I can see nothing but you.

Be my beacon.
My hope.
My light.
In the darkest of nights.
Wait for me, 
my love.

A WINDOW

A window to the world.
A window to beauty.
To snow-capped mountains.
To swan-filled lakes.
To pounding waves of the ocean.
To fields of flowers.
To adventure.
To romance.
Open the window.
Open your mind
to the possibilities.
Wake up your senses.
Can you see the rocks
along the shore?
Can you feel the ocean breeze?
Can you smell the flowers?
Can you feel the hot sun
on your face?
Can you hear the seagulls’ cries?
Can you taste the salty air?
I can.

A KEYHOLE TO THE WORLD

blackoutraven:

Metamorphosis IV by ThisYearsGirl

A small opening.
A keyhole.
Is all that we need.
To see.
To dream.
To imagine.
To look beyond.
Beyond the everyday.
To the world beyond.
Beyond our imagination.
To the unknown.
To be free.

THE QUESTION

What is reality?
Do we see what is
actually around us?
Or is there a another reality?
A reality that we can’t see;
that we aren’t ready to see yet.
Will it ever come into focus?
Into a clarity that will reveal all.
The reason for our existence.
The reason for the world
as we know it.
Look closer.
Peer through the murkiness.
Find your own reality.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

The mind is complex.
It stores information.
It reasons.
But it’s also creative.
I see a butterfly and its shadow.
Did my reasoning or past data
tell me this?
No.
It was the creative part of my brain,
working on over-drive.
What do you see?

A FACE

A nose.
A mouth.
Two eyes.
A face.
What does it add up to?
Does it reveal the person inside?
Can you feel his heart?
Enjoy his humor?
Feel his pain?
See the world
through his eyes?
A person is not
the sum of his parts.
His parts add up to
much, much more.

NIGHT WALK

plasmatics-life:

Night Walk - {by Tiina Törmänen} | {Official WebSite}

A walk alone in the dark.
Feel the cold.
Smell the trees.
Hear the snow falling.
Watch the stars sparkle.
Engage all your senses.
No interference.
No voices.
No noises.
Only clean, fresh air.
And you.

THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Feel it.
Smell it.
Experience it.
Nothing like it.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Look into my eyes.
What do you see?
Do you see a reflection
of yourself?
Do you see what I see
when I look at you?
Do you like what you see?
If not, then there’s still time
to change.
To become a better person.
What do other people see
when they look at you?
