Something About You

Night vision with slicing mercurial eyes

A distant voice shattering my accepted normality

What’s the price? … it doesn’t matter when dreaming of remote possibilities

I thought I heard you crying through the laughter and the smiles

Revealing a hidden and elusive fragility

A former lifetime status altered and denied in an instant

That was the faraway impression received

My minimally semi-educated conclusion

The waves always submitted a frequent and potent beauty

Previously residing solely in chance dreams and murky mirages, just beyond reach

Seemingly impossible to sustain
But likely to maintain

Had you only been closer, maybe I could have had that one moment where I truly impressed

And stopped a searching heart
Right place, ideal moment 

Caused you to shiver and tremble inside

And hasten remaining eternity
