Hero Twice Removed

By violetflames

My muse hasn't given a tug of inspiration in a long while, I guess I will try at it tonight...and see what comes out.


love is wretchid, love sees all
Love is blind and careless and cautious of one alone
Love is not a reality, but reality dwells in the choice

The soft eyes swallow deep in a corrosion of words
Lost in conversation, the signs thrown through glass
This abstraction of diction you despise aside from the function
Lost with the meaning, and unoticed when explained...
I find nothing in no one and you
seek your own.


Hero, you find yourself weakened
not by fear, or by insecurity
merely the loveliest of thoughts in a garden
of stars
that
represent
love is not
love is
love is all.

Hero, you find yourself daydreaming....


Her eyes say all that you need to remember...
"this is love."

    Beautiful in a way that a open sky full of stars and the first spring blossoms are...thank you for this.
