no words

Sitting alone in a room filled with cold
I reflected on what was said by others
One said ‘to the world you are just one person but to one person you are the world’
I thought how appropriate
Appropriate for what I don’t know
But right all the same
Stumbling along I found something by some one else
It said ‘I can tell you all I’ve learned in life in three words….it goes on’
What ‘it’ is I don’t know but imagination is bliss
Seemed too simple too…. I don’t know…
He had his thoughts I’m sure
As the late hour approached I gave off my search
Looking for a word or many to guide me
I decided there was nothing for me
My head hit the pillow
Lying there I thought of waves
Blue mainly but white on top
Never could sleep but on this night it came easy
Not knowing why, I woke to find you lying there
Breathing deeply you moved gently, I cracked a smile
I touched your shoulder, you sighed
I could have kept going but that was enough for me
Always were cute when you slept
Waking you seemed greedy
But in the years I’d forgotten watching you sleep was full filling
Head hits the pillow again
Wide-awake now I smelled your hair
I didn’t know what the fragrance was but it was remembered vividly
I drifted back
Way back to the first days
Eyes open I dreamed of where we came from
But the colors were muddled by your warmth
Concentrating on anything this late was pointless
And your body with me made it even more pointless
Without mention you awoke and turned towards me
The amber in your eyes barely present in the night
There we were …staring….. no words
Your breath rolled off my lips
Thinking of something to say my mind drew blank
It’d had been years but the thoughts were still empty
Lying there …just staring
Looking at your face was a reminder
Reminder of a feeling, a state of being
Not wanting it to end I closed my eyes
Opening them soon after to see if you were still looking
You were
As we lay I realized the words
What I was looking for
I realized they don’t have to be words
They could be this moment,
That moment
It’s still there.
i don't need drugs to make my life tragic.....ev

    That was an incredible piece CBBoot, very poignant without trying to be, there are a few ways to strengthen the language a bit, but this was one of the best efforts I've seen on here
  • oh man.. what a beautiful picture that painted.
    There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
