Knowing I Saw Enough

Teddy.15

 
Eyes so tired 
 
eyes so tired 
 
of seeing the same waste
 
every day 
 
day in day out 
 
these eyes ache to see more
 
something different 
 
something new 
 
something of pleasure
 
nothing of blue 
 
but I am afraid 
 
I am so afraid 
 
that these eyes will fall asleep 
 
one night, for the very last time 
 
never to see the bright
 
they so long to see
 
I want to die with a smile
 
I want to die 
 
knowing I saw enough.

            it's all about quality, dear Poetess
            accrue more quality that quantity
            and this wish of yours will be granted
            way before that final curtain
            comes calling...
            (and what a striking image)
            hope you n yours have a lovely week

            • Teddy.15

              My dear Mek, it's a wonder when all I see is bad news but it's also my job as a poet to question it, a soft walk because I am uncomfortable writing about that famous curtain lol 🤣 thank you my beautiful friend.

              A wish or desire, rather, for the masses, to be fulfilled before their passing. A poignant, thought provoking write!

              • Teddy.15

                Dear Pop64, my deepest regret not seeing this wonderful review, usually I never miss to write back and say thank you. Please except my apologies Sir, and thank you so much. 🌹

                Words of light that pave the way to another day. Oh so bright in the night to wake for another fight. Days come and they go where we'll be no one knows. Excuse my little revere I know that where ever you go you will take the light with you. A most touching piece thanks for sharing.

                • Teddy.15

                  Humbled and honoured by your wonderful words dearest sorrenbarret 🌹 thank you.
