Like Ships in the Night

Floating in these silent seas,

We drift so close and yet so far.

Immortal friends,

We guard the shore.

Breathing softly as moments pass,

Our shadows shimmering in the murky deep.

These cool, calm breezes,

Carry secret words across the ripples,

The ebb and flow of words unspoken,

Listing gently as time ticks by.

From the Outside, In

How much these aching eyes,
Lust for sights before them.
Glistening in perfection,
Life's sweet glow captures my gaze.
Distant dreams and sounds,
Full of silent taunts,
As I stand here alone,
A stranger looking out.

The actors play their roles,
Living dreams before me.
Played to perfection,
The ache to join them runs deep.
Flutters of winds drift past,
Bringing with them scents,
Of flowers in bloom,
As I stand here alone,
A stranger looking out.

My invisible cage,
Anchors me to the spot.
Trapped in perfection,
A prisoner in life's idillicy.
Forgotten moments,
Imprint deep inside,
As I stand here alone,
A stranger looking out.
