Ocean of Tears

For a friend

You're the reason to stay up late
and waste my mornings
in a dreamless haze
Found the weakness within me
was your greatest concern
I don't understand why...

You're the grey sunlight and
the silver moon on my landscape
each star is a smile to me
Found the beauty within you
is what you kept from others
except for me

You shine so bright
I wish this ocean of tears
didn't separate us
because we'll never know

You're the excuse for a lazy Sunday
watching the mist wander
through the spider webs in my garden
In the colourless mornings
I saw your azure eyes
reflect the dim glow

I wish I knew if this was
more than a precious jewel
that resides where my heart used to be
I wish I knew what I felt
and if I would be numb without you

You're the IV within my arm
that keeps me clinging to hope
The taste of honey after
the bland kiss of medicine
The healing hands of Nature
after a bruising night within this suburban Hell

Elliot this one is brilliantly composed and could only have been written from the truth in your heart..

"I wish this ocean of tears
didn't separate us
because we'll never know"

Its hard to have feelings for someone far away or someone that you cannot be with because of circumstance. This is one of the best I have read of yours.. shallimarRose

...such a lovely rendering, Elliott! To fall in love is to feel as though we have been starving for it. A most insatiable need, it is.

So nice to meet you!
