Hello Stranger, My Heart
By Cyprus67Have I been ignoring you?
Unintentional oversight that's all
Not one but many times
Is it still there? I hardly know
What purpose does it have
When I am so sad
Just serves to perpetuate more
Heart that's deep, with little to keep
Sinking and closing, too much rain
External pain, no control only choices
Pensive and alone, serving echoes
Dear stranger, my heart
what purpose do you have
Alone for a long time, rather sad
Stolen offerings, even in shallow
Dismissive experiences
Alliances temporary
No fulfillment
Only empty.

The Artist's Face
By Cyprus67Eyes seen through eyes, tired and dismayed
Sieved through continual critical gaze
An artist turned artist on her
own face.
Fund My Face, describes the drive
A website, a request, or a chance to hide
Her face holds tides of disappointment
And it shows not these but it is her own point
The view is held, which turns to validate
The face she sees through any milegate.
The movement of clouds across the sky
Is seen in daylight with an unkept eye
The light refraction, is given a distraction
To a night time focus of blue,
black haze
Capturing reflections, on most of those days
Worth is master, withheld in proportion
Completely covered by life’s adoration
Some will receive in abundance thereof
Some will decline their portion and scoff
Ill-fitting a standard would rather push forward
Humility may direct, for shy is loathsome
Contrary neglect of what deems handsome
Usual judge of superficial themes
Changing forthright goodness into fading seams
The fabric is torn as some do mourn.
Truth is to some, as perception is to others
Glazing over, not accepting another
Who determines how we should look
An author, a writer, an ultimate book
Lest we forget how lovely is the Creator
The Artist’s face, is like no other
Created unique in pastel complexion
Simply is not void of vital expression
Consistently feeds with sad rejection
Her criticized, beautiful,
living reflection
