Seeing Voices..... A SPII Weekend CHallenge

 

"Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision--Stevie Wonder"

 

Seeing voices
when I slowly stepp out
into the early morning Autumn air,
I bristle up against the elements
sunny, windy, and fair
....
taking a long deserved
nostalgic look
into the curious side of me
and the place inside my heart that you took

I find myself looking for the things
inside of you
that you try to hide from me,
hoping one day that you will confide in me
what makes you tick
what makes you happy
what makes you sick
what makes you cry

Leaves fall randomly against my face
as softly as the memories
of your smile
as softly as your voice
spoken
as softly as the hands I wish to caress
and the spells of silence
I wish were broken

Bristling up snugly
against the chill of the stirring air
wishing that carrying thoughts of you
inside of me long enough
will make you know how much I care

You are only a heart beat away
and even if I can't look into your eyes
I still want to stay
wherever you are at the end of the day

What is it that makes me fear
I ask my heart
Because my head has no idea

A woman's heart 
has always been a weakness for me
It is easy to find,

yet hard to keep

I replay your voice
over and over in my mind
I whisper your name into the air
into a wind I hope
is fair
and kind

I can't give up now...
after all the times I laid awake at night
dreaming of we

Can't you see
that this seems like to me
a surrendering of choice,
to make my own fate
to devise this scheme
to find you heart
to approach you
to bring you to me
and to successfully rescue you
....

from my dreams
