Kleptomania (standing in the way) of the heart
I’ve walked away from love,
A thousand times or more.
Ending up where I began,
A thousand times or more.
I’ve walked away from love,
Looking up to the sky through whispering trees
Waving into blind eyes, (I can see shattering hearts).
Tiny perfect moments
Like skipping stones,
Across water to another life.
Scattered hearts washed down in the rain
No help from drowning, dreams left drowning
Emotionally I’m wrapped up in vines.
Parting without being forced too
Rain soaked shoes and kaleidoscopic eyes,
Transition into your own life is static.
Balancing infrequencies on top of illusions
Swept up to the sky, raindrops fall from your eyes
Just for scarce tiny perfect moments
(But I can't see you there) dreams don't last.
Kleptomania (standing in the way) of the heart,
Sorry love it's too soon.
Waving into blind eyes (making time) can't find the time,
Sorry love it's too late.
Far away
Not far enough,
Further back
Farther from yourself.
You love; you don’t love,
You end up falling in love;
You love, you don’t love,
You end up falling in love again.
Tiny perfect moments
Like skipping stones,
Across water to your other life.

Time heals most things but not all
but saying that your in love or saying that someone will never care enough about you is like saying that the sky was blue and ignoring the variations in the hue Here's a link for the pretty preview image; [link] The title is from a Mansun song "WITNESS TO A MURDER (PART TWO)", lyrics by Mansun, "All my life What I mistook for friendly pats on the back Were really the hands that pushed me further and further down The more I struggle, the less I achieve Deep, chlorine breath Minutes bleed into hours, bleed into days Something keeps me in this disinfected womb We see things differently in daylight, I suppose I mean, everything is an excuse for something But my conscience is intact I can deny everything I'm waving into blind eyes." ***** Edited punctuation 9th August 2007/ edited again 29th January 2009. Some more fine tuning (hope you like the revised version feel happy with this one, let me know what you think?) ***** |

poem. I think you're one of
the best writers and especially
here on deviantArt. There are so many
parts to this poem that I really adore.
...just really lovely words, and word combinations,
and awesome imagery. 'Kleptomania of the heart...'
that's a really cool line... and it's not the only one,
but I'm only picking one because... well, this isn't an
advanced critique and if I chose more than one I
might just end up writing your whole poem down...hehe.
Good work...beautiful...all of that! Please never,
ever stop writing!... Your work deserves a

Swept up in a cyclone
What we must endure"
I really don't know how you do it! But again an amazing gift as a writer.
