Unsanctioned Bliss

The eyes of someone who cares
A heart skips a beat
And in turn a glance turns to a promise
A break in our hurtful lifestyle
And a second turns to a moment
The hopes of what may be to come
Like the record played on repeat
A step turns to a leap

The mind shuts down
Leaving nothing to the conscience
There is no may not
Just a may be
And with this we decree
That love at first sight
Is nothing but a dim light
Hard to see
And cause of failure we flee

But there is always that what if…
That one slight riff
Of which replays on a chance you wish you had taken
Before you went and got bruised and broken
Where’d this island go?
Where we retreat to take a break from defeat
Love like a foreign language
Never easy to tell what was made to salvage.

You know for once I am proud of myself because I had the capability to sit down and put myself in front of a canvas and just go at it! This is all charcoal and it felt good to forget everything that was bothering me and just mesh the charcoal with the canvas!
