MY EXAMPLE

Soul’s window

Searching for the truth
looking
Blue eyes
Pools of emotion
Crying through the night
Despair
Searching
Blue eyes crying
Colour faded through tears
Weeping
Stinging
Water colour
Blue eyes cease crying
Dried
Wiped
Moments relief
The pain paused
Eyes
I hope that everything is as clear as mud and that you let me know what you think.

Worlds opening
Passion fruit, bittersweet, partaken
