Perfect Feelings

By Danny Villarreal

 

 

 

     Is your lover true?

     The heart can meander

     As easily as the eyes

     Silent rivers whisper

 

     I accepted the humanity

     Of life long ago

     No one is perfect

     To try is to be

     Forever saddened

 

     Feelings can be perfect

     And complete

     Like the neurotransmitter

     Lock and key

 

     She can see things I cannot

     What can she see?

     She can see...

     Unimagined beauty and depth

     She can see universe in a flower

     She can see all these things

     But she can't see me

 

     The end of her story

     Jaded as well

     Sometimes we sell our souls

     To see to the other side of hell

 

     We lose our focus

     We gain the insight

     But can't

     See the sun

     For the light
