Stupidity!



Deepest darkest dwelling doomed for disaster trying to catch up, running,
Faster, Faster,Faster;
Deafening doorbells decapitating my thoughts;
Filled with Heavenly highs,
highs that hurt my goodbyes.

Distant dreams dangling dreams of worthiness;
A certain Sanctuary of impossibility used to be my bliss;
Cringing in cracked corners, a distant memory;
Bewitched with broken blindness,
no more,  I'm free,  I can finally see!

A beautiful birth from a miracle you breathe;
With kindling kind eyes, a possibility you weave;
Hunkered, humble heart I see as you offer me a new start;
Each little brick ,each little stone, that makes up your soul, is what sets you apart.

Immense intense beauty radiates from you,
Each molecule of your being stands for what is true
Conquering corridors of darkness as you bring light;
Lasting silences , and lingering stares brought dreams back into sight.
