Close your eyes but keep your mind wide open (Free verse) by darylchew
Close your eyes but keep your mind wide open.
The door is ajar. The dog is barking. The streets are empty and so is my
head. The people walk past me. They walk through me. They stare through
my body numb with self-denial.
The wind is screaming, the curtains are drawn like my hands put over my
ears. My heart is pounding, my limbs are shivering, ghost trains are
running though my head all night.
You are in the air, in the earth, in the sun, in the rain. You are in
the deepest of my thoughts, thoughts i dare bring out of this closed box
which is my heart only when the night is dead and bats reign over the
fruit trees.
(I'm sorry, that seat is taken.)
