I Just Close My Eyes

I just close my eyes and she's there

Sometimes I trip and fall, but I don't care

With eyes closed I absorb the pain

When I open them, she's gone again

​

Random thoughts don't last

Not like they did in the past

She's a shining light

On a future so bright

​

Every time she enters my mind

I find

Peace, tranquility, a knowing

Continuously growing

​

Normality that seems surreal

Such ease I feel

Sensitive and sweet

Three inches, five feet

​

Each passing day takes me closer to that place

Solitude greeted by an open door

The simple joy of caressing her beautiful face

And be alone no more

​
