Watched "Meet Joe Black" today, I happen to like it. I felt such things in this poem as it progressed. It's... a little strange.
Lovingly Ignorant
So high above, you soar away from me,
casting down a stare that looks deep into my eyes,
trusting you so perfectly, forgetting any thought of lies.
Bursting echoes from the darkness in my heart,
beating for your breath, standing any farther apart.
Attached merely by experience, we cannot leave,
forever in my mind you stay, leaving me unable to breathe.
To only know you closer, only beckons my soul nearer,
for seeing who you truly are completely fills my chest,
left trapped with you in my head, forgetting a chance to rest.
I walk on without thought into the obscurity,
feeling so far away from you, hoping to never find you.
Knowing you in my heart and feeling you in my mind,
is the only thing I seek to know, or ever truly find.
To have you in grasp, or holding apart of my love,
could only destroy my life and will to live it at all.
Without the ideal that lives on in your soul,
I've nothing to wish for, and nothing to want,
trapped in life without a need after finding what I sought.
Nothing to really live for, once I've found my most complete,
the joy and passion, the desire and feeling,
all of it torn into little but a dream, if I escape this scene.
The time without you, unimaginable yet so real,
captured by its beauty yet alive by its sorrow.
This life holds the same outcome as all,
ending with death after a long winded fall.
I can only hope never to bring that loss to anyone,
for it is a pain only I would wish to have,
tortured by its hate and anger,
knowing how real life can be deep with danger.
Selfish and wanting, life transparently tells all;
we see it before us and most ignore it outright,
never truly understanding how close they were to that sight.
I may never know or may never try,
for hoping at such ignorance, is the last wish before I die.
Captured forever in someone's mind,
leaving this world knowing I never tried,
yet somehow feeling that much more alive.
