Pondering Portrait Poems

Why can’t you look at me?
Why can’t you see?
These tears that glisten
So shamelessly
...

Crying out to be heard
But taunting echoes scream back
A reminder of my abandoned self
In this hollow emptiness I yield
...

I hope you’re happy
When you see her smile
Illuminating up your world
Left breathless all the while
...

What does it mean
When someone
Can break your heart?
When they do it
...

Dimness clouds awareness
Concealing groping eyes
From registering any truth
That’s been smothered by it
...

Buried amidst time past
And memories long replaced
Within the tunnels of my mind
Is the ghost of your face
...

Withered pain
Torn out thoughts
Refusal to embrace
The threads of destiny
...

Untouchable, unreachable
A place unknown
Never conjured up
But one i proudly own
...

With heavenly grey skies
And their presence till tomorrow
With a depthless darkness
And the endlessness of sorrow
...

An escalated giddiness
A light feathery tickle
Itching up my throat
Bouts of laughter can only satisfy
...
