Awakening

wrote this many, many years ago and never could really grasp its exact meaning, until today...it´s about awakening...

Through Blue Eyes Fade to Grey

- Awakening -

The mirror tells me secrets
stories, from very far away
of hidden places, treasures
behind the bright light of the day
she tries to show the true world
through blue eyes fade to grey

Staring in the mirror
i try to lift the veil
try to understand what lies behind
the bitter shades of pale

The mirror whispers softly
sweet words of happiness
sings about a world out there
where there's no loneliness
she tries to tell the story
through ears appearing deaf

Staring in the mirror
i try the hear the sound
try to understand what lies behind
the harsh noise of lost ground

The mirror winks
the mirror waves
the mirror laughs at me
i wink back
i wave at her
i even try to smile
but when i turn around again
it all just makes no sense
i try, i learn, i walk along
just facing my defence

Sweet mirror,
could you show me now
the way to solid ground...please
i've walked so long in darkness now
i'd like to find some peace

Staring in the mirror
i tell her about myself
about unwritten stories
still waiting for a shelf

The mirror answers softly
to be all still and sound
to not look back nor fear the front
'cause all is common ground

That,
the only thing that matters
is to believe and trust
defence is just a mechanism
that leaves all wishes crushed

Just try to let go and loosen up
imagine a rainbow in the sky
picture yourself what you'd like to see
and don't ask yourself everytime 'why'

Make today the first day of your history
paint your outlook the colour you love most
throw away your best friend, the mirror
and the world behind the shade of grey
will slowly be exposed

Staring in the mirror the last time
i startle and whisper 'goodbye'
i've listened to her for so many times
so many times asking her 'why'

O yes, she answered, she told me a lot
but what i forgot to remember
is that the world she told me about
is a world i already got

It's a world deep down inside
the soul, the heart, the spirit
the mirror, just a shimmering surface
that hides the forgotten beneath it

It only shows a reflection, seen
through blue eyes fade to grey, the lies
in which illusion conquers
in which true beauty cries

Crash the shimmering glass with bare hands
watch red drops dripping of
follow their path, unfolding your story
the other was just a spin-off

Try to feel what your blood is telling
let its story be your guard
on your way of history unwritten
and live it out with all your heart!!!

Your writing is very eloquent. Are the stories you mention things which you have written already or are they stories which you will write?

I re- read alot of my own stuff and then laugh at myself because it makes sense much later then when I wrote them down.

We are a clever species in some ways hehe.

Hi irisa ---more?

[Unseeking Seeker]

Beautiful poem, irisa

By coincidence, I’ve just floated a poetry contest on another forum a few days back titled ‘break the mirror’

Hi Redembers,

long ago, but still thank your for your reply!

And about the unwritten stories...it is not meant literally...it´s about making life stories...beautiful experiences lived from the heart.
Wish i could write like this again...

@ Miss Hepburn...i hope more will come...(will look what i already wrote decades ago)...and then in english..

@Unseeking Seeker: thank you!

True Love

Looking around
Searching
Millions of times
And a couple of hundred more
Suddenly
There you were
It shocked me a little
Golden hearted
Shining so bright, that
When i looked another way
i saw only black dots
like blind spots, lots of them
seemingly out of no where
Seeing cold black outside
Feeling warm gold within
I am fighting, but why
Fighting me
Through you
My heart is burning
sighing, singing, flying
it is fluttering, crying, yelling
expanding, loving
Sooo much
feeling like it is going to burst
where to go with it all?
who´s gonna heal it
when it breaks
again?
Afraid
that it will be broken forever
the next time
(that i silently still wish for)
i might see you
How much can it expand?
from pain?
from love?
I felt found
I felt lost
I felt found and lost again
Millions of times
in what feels like a second
Life or the universe or god
they seem to play with me like a ball
I let them play
but the ball is too heavy
or is it natures gravity
that makes me fall to the ground
to feel earth again, to rest
to come to my senses
or is it to make me feel confused
feeling tossed around
and trying to find my way
through this never-ending maze
again and again and again and all-over
flowing around like a feather
lost, by a dying bird
not sure what to do
fight?
Flight?
Where did you go?
And why?
Was it just me?
Did you feel it too?
Or am i just a fool?
Dreaming the most beautiful dream?
No, i know...
You were there
I did really see you
Like you saw me
You knew me in only seconds
So well...but how?
I feel you in every heartbeat
You are like the oxygen for my heart
Making it possible
For my Soul
To Live
Love

Thanks for sharing, irisa

Invitation To The Forever Dance

One Soul
Two bodies
Male & Female
Back to Back
Like Siamese Twins
Living
Without ever knowing
each other
Because they just can´t see

Until
Divine Intervention
Touches one or both
Divine clockwork
Whispers its Twelve
Inviting them
to the forever
Dance

Suddenly
Like Siamese twins divided
Awakening
A careful first stare
Eye to Eye
Allowed to see
Earth time
Fades out

Male & Female

Sun & Moon

With the Moon above Me
I see before me
My Shadow
Lit up by the Golden Sun

[Unseeking Seeker]

Do go on, irisa
