TransparentA Poem by Joshua J. Certain
I close my
eyes and see you standing by the cold eastern sea,
It all is like a scene from an epic Hollywood movie you look at me and shove me into the cold water I have no care because next to you the world has become quit kind you can toss me under and cleanse away all my impurity's erase the negativity, the vision is transposed I lay down every night one scene I can watch again and again without it getting old so lost within that one thought opening my eyes becomes hard to do because I know I will look around and see nothing new just a great big empty place, I want to close my eyes again drowned in that ocean why would I have a chance, how could I make any difference, I am solid steal bones of dust and a heart wore into rust each day I become a little more solid a little more cold I feel no place to belong can never have the comfort to say I'm at home shunned away and denied I have always been the dog at the doorsteps, but I can still close my eyes and see my dream, And if it is never to be a reality it is something that will become lost in me for an eternity. The mornings are so alone the nights are so gone I wonder if it would be the same if I saw you next to me. I am like a ghost transparent to the world there is no way you can really know me unless you can reach out in touch me, I speak through the lust in my eyes and the temperature in my skin, the action in my hands no words or tone can replace that I can only be as I am so dream I will to see your hair in the wind next to the sea as I escape from my own transparency © 2011 Joshua J.
