Blue Phase

Blue Phase

A Poem by Odyssey

I searched
I searched
All over
All over
But
you
was
nowhere
to be Found
 
I put out an A.P.B
and an internal investigation on all 4 corners of my square little world
'Traveling the distance beyond all limitations
Seeking for you with high priority
 
And still !!!!
You
was
nowhere
to be Found
 
There was a time when you could be found
in the presence of the Persian sands
as golden drips shined in the east
and silver sparkles reflected from the west
You had a way of captivating the souls of many
Just the sight of you gave hope
You was pure
You was glee
You was truly apart of me
 
So I ask,
what made you flee?
Please
tell me!!!
 
Damn I miss you
To be honest,
I miss you like hell
and without you
I tend to look like......hell
 
Sometimes I think it would take some type of miraculous event
just to bring you back
 
You know,
 
something
 
like
 
a
 
phenomenon
 
And believe me,
many have tried countless times to rejuvenate you
and when they realised what they thought was you
was only a fa sad
they gave up
But in my heart I know it wasn't a lost cause
 
I also know you tend to show up when no one is looking
and you also lure out of hiding when there is some happy reminiscing
Then you hide once again behind
defensive words
cold gestures
evil stares
and
words
like
"I don't care"
 
But I know that's a lie because you're not cold
there's warmth beneath the evil stare
and I feel your pain
behind the lies
like
"you don't care"
 
And I know how it pains you
to feel powerless against things you can't control
But that should not have caused your departure
because you know we can't control the world
 
If that was so
I would selfishly stop the Earths rotation
just so the sun could shine everyday where my kids play
and give peaceful nights where misery's head lay
I would broadcast those powerful prayer's to heal the wounded
I would make those that label themselves forgotten
an eternal memory for all
I would shelter the homeless
Feed the hungry
Give power to the weak
Enlighten knowledge to the ignorant - self included
But it's not a perfect world and I'm not Clark Kent
and you acknowledged this
a long time ago
So tell me why you chose to leave now
Was it some type of build up?
Were you tired of the tasks life threw at you?
Why was it so hard for you to realize that the hard part was over?
 
Well......
maybe you're just stuck within
But
for the time being
I'll just continue to sit in front of this mirror
Waiting
for my smile to return

See - it's pieces like this that I miss. Your creative nature is what I so desire. I had to laugh at the end of this cause I see you in that mirror dealing with this situation. I am so happy to be reading your words again.
