I took the moon <br />And cradled her with my heart <br />So they could mend <br />Together <br />I took to drink <br />So my mind and spirit could bend <br />Forever <br /> <br />But I left pieces of you <br />Between hemispheres <br />Resting on clouds <br />Floating back to Earth <br />Or dropping like flash bombs <br />On the hearth <br />Of your mind <br /> <br />They said there was a method to madness <br />I thought it was love and kindness <br />So I gave you both in abundance <br />Cause I wanted you mad for me <br />But your eyes held terrible confessions <br />And your heart brimmed with love’s deception <br />You said to eat cake <br />But I feasted on betrayal <br /> <br />It’s a fools disease <br />To be blind to the truth <br />Because of love <br />But the Fates dealt you to me <br />Like Tarot Cards <br />And this Snow White <br />Opened the Door again <br />For you <br /> <br />But this time I’m not afraid <br />Of the things you say <br />Just the things I don’t see <br />Clearly in front of me <br />But I’m keeping my view open <br />Since you’ve done the same <br />With your mind <br /> <br />So lets make a grand time <br />Of the life we have left <br />Time flies by fast <br />Like airplanes <br />In September <br />It can be gone on a dime <br />And lost like a sense <br />Like I was <br /> <br />So we’ll keep the lines open <br />The flow in check <br />And not fret<br /><br />Alejandro Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/open-16/
