Have you ever wanted something so badly that you heard things that weren't being said? Maybe you've even seen something that really wasn't there. By this I mean you were a FOOL for love. I know many of us can relate to this particular topic. I hope you enjoy this piece.

Eyes Wide Shut

Foolish of me for loving you

With my eyes wide shut

For misreading your emotions

And for needing you too much

Foolish of me for thinking

You could love me beyond your bed

For letting the sound of your voice

Be a distraction in my head

Foolish of me for trusting

The eyes that lied constantly

For not realizing sooner

That your one and only I’d never be

Foolish of me for believing

That my fairy tale had come true

For listening to the music

That seemed so out of tune.

Now I know my life will go on

And the pieces of my heart I’ll pick up

But foolish of me for loving you

With my eyes wide shut.

You are so correct. I love it. I have been there and I will share this with you so that you can get the picture. Here goes:

Our essence was suspended in air it seems. It was as though our essence(s) were weaved together in concert. It may have been our imagination, but we could not distinguish our own life form. We-at-that-moment-could-not-recognize-our-own-selves. We were at that instant, incorporeal. Our spirits were each other’s, which is why we could not identify our own selves. True Love it was, Heavenly it is. To love “My Lady” better than my person, begin heaven for me, guided by God’s itinerary. The great paradigm of this moment is that God’s freedom is within our own quintessence. Paradise is at this time; the world of expectation, hope, reaction, it is all at this juncture. We contain Agape at this time, if we contain it at this moment (Terse, Dr. Clarence Rucker, Jr).
