empty eyes dull damaged mirrors poor reflections eyes shout silent prayers muted when shut eyes wide open pennies cover the windows copper green are the eyes white eyes tell you to ease the pain slumbering with one eye open eyes wide shut shot between the eyes blackness point blank right between the eyes love is blind even with open eyes

Continuing the challenge to keep writing poems of 144 characters or less. Here are three more #micropoems. Poetry for twitter 🙂
1. feed me don’t tease me said the lover gorge yourself on love life & lust said the beloved 2. love is beauty wrapped in the seconds of one’s life if you don’t stop to breath you might just miss it 3. what is worse than death dying leaving nothing unfinished the elusive, yet attainable unfinished life

fluttering eye lids in the morning light cascading hair across her visage my love lies in a gentle slumber slowly the gateway to her emotions opens fluttering eyelids reveal what lies beneath unleashing the emotions lying behind the portal they spring forth revealing all the colours of the rainbow the colours of love, lust, longing desire, happiness sadness the rainbow in her eyes I am privileged to see and partake in all the colours

the sky is as empty as my life a vast unfathomable emptiness charting a path through the maze of nothingness searching for the piece of the puzzle that is missing my heart demands the puzzle to be complete it yearns for the picture to be made whole only then can the bleeding stop in a bed with an empty pillow next to me I dream of my missing puzzle piece of the one who holds my heart so sad that what we do to survive can make the puzzle incomplete I asked myself in my dream; so why do I do it? dreams like puzzles are riddled with missing pieces the one piece I need is within my grasp it comes to me all alone it means so much to me the piece, the puzzle, my beloved completing the picture bringing me full circle to completion serenity peace
