Without Sight

Without sight the world is beautiful

The colors are vivid and splendid

There are no scars or separations

Sounds dictate truths, not words or faces

 

Without sight the world is of equality

All are equal in shape and form

Talent is through more than aesthetic ability

Depth is worthy of the awards and accolades

 

Without sight the world is eternal

There is no horizon or stars

Words and inflections give tangibility

Limits are limited only by the imagination

 

Without sight the world is immediate

There is no looking back or ahead

One step in front of the other

One word spoken after another

 

Without sight the world is beautiful

 

 

(after a major accident I had to live with dark sunglasses from wake up to sleep and even then most of my hours were with my eyes closed, the world was beautiful but lonely)

Help Me Be… (My First Poem)

Ronovan Poetry , , , , , ,

Help Me Be…

by: Ronovan

 

I heard you crying

I asked what for

You said it was nothing

As I headed for the door

 

I heard you sighing

Now I knew you were lying

So I turned around

And walked the floor

 

Why do you do that

Why can’t you just be real

I’m just a man

I inherently don’t know the deal

 

I want to know you

I want to be helped to grow

Just let me listen

By telling me what for

 

I heard you crying

I asked you what for

You said it was nothing

I ignored you to the core

 

Now I hold you

I listen to you breathing

No words are coming

But I know you are healing

 

Help me be a man

The only one I was meant to be

I don’t know what is keeping

Keeping me from being free
