Eyes

In your eyes I see the world in caricature
In your eyes I enamour the grandure of the skyline
In your eyes I hear notes, rests, and time signatures
Carefully strewn together in a miniscule orchestra
In your eyes I absorb colors in unbelievable radiance
I see a whole new dimension
A whole new meaning
All in stark simplicity
I see all these
As I tread on thin glass
As i falsely hope

Wide-Eyed Slumber

I know I need to sleep
But I just can't
I need to tire myself incessantly
Just to forget
I am frequently consumed
With thoughts and confusion
I have frequently assumed
And fed this worthless imagination


I am in my wide-eyed slumber
Ironic and ambiguous
Unfair and ridiculous

I am in my wide-eyed slumber
Lethargic but alive
Melancholic and resigned

I am in my wide-eyed slumber
