Blessed to Have Lost Beauty
I guess I've been blessed
To have lost beauty twice
Those eyes
Too green, too blue
And I can only ever think of you
And how the world’s never looked
So beautiful to me as when we walked
The fields side by side
Her blue
Skies seemed to stretch forever
Your green
Hills shimmered with heat haze
You both appear now
Like some mirage
Of holy water
To a boy still parched with
Sin and regret
Trying to forget
Trying to forget you
The first time with you
And all those tangled minefields
He’s had to navigate
Forever
Since that day
When she came later
Walking barefoot
Clear, pure
Showed me love
How to love myself
Said Yes
Again I can't forget
What she gave me
Taught me how to pray
But not how to forgive
So now solo
I track back
Those times
Blend and merge
In that distant maelstrom
Meaning lies here somewhere
As we lay
You
Two spirits
So similar yet so
Far apart
You both glide over
My youth so gently
Graceful footprints
I don't even want
To try to rub out
Teach me how to walk
An inch above the floor
Like they did
Spellbind me
You find me now
Scanning the horizons
Shimmer on
In my memory
And don't ever change
But time keeps changing
Everything
Yes I guess I'm blessed
To hold these pictures
Safe I'll hold them
Close to my chest
Maybe hold them
For good
Safely put to rest
But for now
How
They
Still shimmer.

Your poem was great.
I like the way you contrasted with the eyes and then went to the landscape with it.
I think i experienced some synchronycity with that poem even randomly including some of our descriptive words.
COOL.
Interesting.
Good writing.

But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize"
The other day the above lyrics hit me like they never had before.......Almost dizzying....So true, feelings i long recognise summed up in words so beautifully/perfectly.....
