Blind

I am so blind

As not to see

I am so blind

Of what's to be

I am so blind

I  just don't know me

I've reached

I've searched

A friendship breached

A future perched

On a flower never to be

The rain I use to trust

Now is a drought

Inside of doubt

It all seems to be a bust

It all turned to rust

The anger of thunder

have laid asunder

All that once was

All due to becuase

All because of who knows what?

I accept this fate

Even if its too late

I implore with open hands

Inside these virtual lands

Words have done me in.

A Wish

I saw this star fall,
a wish wasn't needed to call,
near my home on Calista.
Like the goddess Vesta,
this fire was lit long ago,
the flame never too low.

A Star

Have you ever felt a star,
or seen her dance,
up close, and not from afar;
then enveloped like a trance?

To hold her in your arms,
to have her oh so near.
Her light is so warm,
her eyes so very clear.
eyes so very clear.
eyes so very clear..
To be able to let go.
These feelings of surrender,
like a falling star bestows.

Second Life Blues

Is a Second Life a start?

Is who I am a File menu and an Quit,

then only to Log on and here I am;

a continuation of what was when?

Are these feelings just a game piece

to be moved around, shuffled, then cease?

Is trust something that's gained,

or is it something that's lost from feign?

I trusted you for who you are,

not what you have or what you offer.

Am I something that's merely an avatar

to be related to only when you are?

Is RL something that's brought here

as baggage from your trip?

Is the passion, the creation, the imagination

merely just that.. or something that's rationed?

My dreams are non-profit.

My dreams are being with you.

My dreams are artistic.

My motivation is holistic.

I never asked for much.

My curiosity is just that.

My questions are for learning,

just as the world is turning.

My sincerity is just that.

My rarity is only 'cause I am me.

My love is all that you've seen.

It's "my" heart that is unseen.

Dream II

I enter a dream,
The dream is yours,
The dream becomes mine too,
As I'm with you.

I watch as you create,
that which is in your heart,
I become the heart,
Even before I start.
