My mouth is so dry,
My heart's bleeding flakes of the life
that once pulsed through me...
You've caught me at a bad time.
Rewind to when you actually knew me.

 I don't see the sun rise,
 I just see it shine.
 I don't see the clouds gather,
 I just feel the rain.
 I don't see a horizon,
 Just the moon and the stars...
 And I think I'm missing something.

Parched yet soggy,
My eyes poured out salty tears
Upon desert cheeks at dawn.
Nothing makes sense right now;
I'm lost.
Fast-forward past this moody song.

 I don't see the hand,
 But I feel the slap.
 I don't see your face clearly,
 But I feel your frown.
 I don't see you go,
 Just feel you leave...
 And I think I'm missing something.

Oh! How I long to dance
On puffy pink clouds
In my distorted dream.
Oh! I want to take the chance,
And maybe...
Just maybe you'll love me.

Supple rose oils calm
My burning, fiery skin,
That once was young and lovely.
A moment catches here...
Pause at the happiness of ancients.

 I can't see the sky anymore,
 But I feel the sun's rays.
 I can't hear a song anymore,
 But my heart plays a melody.
 I can't utter a sound anymore,
 But my actions speak for me.
 And somehow.. I'm not missing a thing.

An intense video

of painful memories. Excellent imagery of so many things missed, not seen but definately felt. I like the hint of memory as video tape, the rewinding and fast-forwarding though life. The snippets of what I saw on this video drew me into the poem, made me feel the pain inside it. Well done.
