Dust And Ashes

They say the eyes are the window to the soul But don’t forget your eyes also are the window To the world In my windows all you find is dust and ashes I ‘m imprisoned within blocks of ice Image of me is merely specks of dust roaming In the core of your heart As I wonder through the park I bumped into a friend The weeping willow, I realized that my tears are The tears of the willow   ………………..were both   Trapped in a world of pain And my soul is shielded by a cloud of darkness   My eyes spill tears onto the soil and ignite like fuel  As my flames of crimson encircle you still the Soul of my heart is a merely a slave ....................To yours Your words of love overflow with a cold bitterness    My heart grieves and my spoken words and world Have turned into ebony skies, as my Tears have turned into ashes, and my heart into  ………………..Dust Fed a mountain of lies a blanket of frost emit and cover  My soul through myriad seasons, now I’m Entrapped like a spider in-between your web of lies A day doesn’t go by without me wishing to not have a heart  Then I would never have fallen in-love nor felt the edge of the ……………….. Knife Night after night I kneel on my knees and pray  For my sight to depart That way this slave would see only angels within my mind Instead all they see is things that bring sadness to  ………………..My spirit Often I hope for one day soon to lose my hearing That would be joyful, not to hear your heart sing and Whisper to mine, of the countless loves in your ……………….. Life Often I wish upon the stars to take my eyes for without Eyes there’s   no tears to spill no visions to view Nor eyes on my mind playing image slide ………………..I rather not ever see No eyes to see the broken hearted look upon Your face I prefer to be blind   And spellbound in a time capsule floating within Mystic winds of yesterdays when the Unconditional bond of love was ………………..Cherished as valid vows We all know that nothing in life lasts forever  There are too many liars in this world Only thing we can count on is that we breathe  Life today But don’t count on tomorrow for Tomorrow we may become ………………..Ashes and dust   They say the eyes are the window to the soul But don’t forget your eyes also are the window To the world Within my windows all you find is dust and ashes A soul that walks and breathes I’m dead inside “This slave of your heart wishes for the window Of my soul to be closed Forever…… Then my dust and ashes will rest in peace Under the wings of a friend who weeps my tear A weeping willows three …..

Ours eyes and how they perceive the world depend on what we see within or together we share the struggles we face in life, I love how this piece comes together.
Excellent write.

Epic piece and very entertaining throughout.

unpredictable journey - you took a cliche and ran with it but it was a surprise through each line, it gave the Oedipus complex a complimentary twist..

[Priscilla Sayers]

I was engrossed in this piece as i felt each and every syllable. You have, once again inspired me, now through verse, breathing new life into me through the words of your soul that spring forth like a song that sings to my heart.
Thank you for giving me your gift of strength through inspiration.

[Coyote Poetry]

Always a good journey when reading your poetry. A lot of emotion and desire in the poem. Sometime we must look for the good in a life. Bad times need to be left behind.
"We all know that nothing in life lasts forever
There are too many liars in this world
Only thing we can count on is that we breathe
Life today ".
Thank you for the outstanding poem.
