The Night We Shared Picture of You Poem 2 Confusion

Retrospection

Picture of You

I had a picture of you once.

I didn’t know why at the time.

I seemed very old.

Torn, faded.

You had a look in your eyes.

I always wondered what you were

thinking at that moment.

I memorized every line,

Every curve.

I love you.

I’ve always loved you.

-Alia Willson-


The Night We Share

Black,

Dark,

Night covers us with its shroud.

The one time bonds are broken,

Strength is at its fullest

Mists of intrigue and mystery,

heavy and think like Jasmine

fill the air.

Black,

Dark,

Night protects us with its veil.

The one time passions are freed,

Lust is at its peak

Haze of secrets and charm,

intense and lush like blood

overflow the air.

Black,

Dark,

Night cloaks us with its obscurity.

The one time inhibitions are liberated,

Bestiality is at its height

Blur of crimson and gore

fierce and savage like us

over take the night.

-Alia Willson-

Retrospection

Deep rich color

in a glass.

Swallow hard

Goes to my head

Makes me forget.

All I can do

I’ve done

Memories won’t go.

Deep rich color

in a glass.

Swallow hard

Thoughts of you invade my head

One thing makes me forget.

It’s up to you

Don’t let me be alone

Memories won’t go.

Deep rich color

in a glass.

Swallow hard

little white pills

Makes me forget.

Tearing apart

my bleeding heart

memories go.

Empty glass

-Alia Willson-

Confusion

Mind filled with questions,

questions without answers.

Jumbled into a crevice of confusion

Feelings within,

Emotions better left on the shelf

Words,

Words never revealed,

Actions,

Actions never done,

Agony of mind

Pain of the soul

Searching for truths

In the eyes of the stranger

The one you thought you knew,

The one you thought you adored

And all of the questions of before

Remain.

-Alia  Willson-

Poem 2

The mist is lifting slowly,

I can see it in your eyes.

I’ve left behind the empty streets

that once inspired my life.

The strength of the emotions

is like thunder in the air.

The depth of your spirit,

and the mystery of your soul,

I’ve been searching for it in everyone I meet.

Those who lack the courage

say that it is dangerous to try.

They don’t know that love

eternal

will not be denied.

I know it’s going to happen.

I can feel you getting near.

I know your out there somewhere.

I know that I’ll find you somehow.
