a world of wonder

click.
lock and key
you unravel me
and suddenly it’s hard to breathe

little by little
you lifted away the tension
an embedded dark suspension
that once encapsulated my greatest fears
and all of the battles I have been losing for years
unearthed before my very eyes
believe me, I am terrified

but upon your glowing forge I have placed my trust
that somewhere beneath this laden dust
there is power to conquer the days that lie ahead
to place our mark with each step we tread
to find answers in places no one has dared
to follow through for those who cared
to replace the pieces of a heart torn asunder
the presentation of a world of wonder.

Those were the times.

I miss staring into the horizon

wondering about

all the possibilities

that

tomorrow

would bring

 

I miss thinking

that

the only limitations

were the skylines of your mind

 

I miss the daydreaming

that existed

before the coming

of habitual tendency

of responsibility

of maturity

 

I miss the luxury

of freedom

of believing that anything was possible

with a forward looking smile

with kaleidoscopic eyes

 

Those were  the times

when happiness came naturally

and needed no protection

from our sighs

needed no provocation

and no reason

to exist

 

Those were the times

when happiness was happy.
