Esperana

what's in a name?

I didn't recognize
your solemn eyes
[not the way]
they pored out

with
acidic fumes

Burned holes into
the backdrop

of my
lucid brain

Are you afraid?

To take another step
out
into the World

Don't do that, girl

Don't hide your face

In the darkness of Time
and Infinite space

Get lost in the equation

Just look at all

their faces

As they fade and dissipate

We all need something

Something

that we can
call "Great"

Something that we can't
relate
in Language

Author's Note

now is then. now is forever.

Beautiful word play and vivid imagery. I love your mysterious style. I tried to express the difficulty of finding words to describe our innermost feelings in "I can't do that", but I think you have done a much better job here. Thank you foor sharing.

"We all need something"
Life is a wild journey. To know you are on the right path and doing the rights things is always a mystery. I like the thoughts create by your poetry. I believe we must try to taste joy and happiness. Greatness is the hope we feel when we know real peace and happiness. Thank you for the outstanding poetry. Made me think.
