When I close my eyes

Wayne O'Brien

I close my eyes
and I can see
the visions behind
all possibilities

the way you move
like you hold the key
and the things you do
enchants me

Words cannot express
the beauty I see
it can melt all stress
and set a man free

when I close my eyes
you I see
more beautiful than the skies
when they meet the sea

I don't mean to come on strong
but I feel like I had done that already
please don't get me wrong
my heart has always been heavy

these words are not meant to be clever
like a love song by Santana
but the most beautiful person ever
is named *******

Wayne O'Brien

I grew up in a trailer park in fairly rough town and saw drugs and many many gangs everyday. I was introduced to drugs death and street life at an early age while blessed/cursed with vivid dreams, many have come to pass. After the suicide of my first girlfriend I became addicted to cocaine and free-base and experimented with many other drugs. I quit those on Sept. 12 2001 (my senior year in high school) and have been clean sense(woot) and found God several years later. Many of my poem are a direct honest account of my past, although there are some poems of mine here that are actually songs I wrote. I can be blunt and honest, so that's all I'm saying here for now. read my poetry and songs and tell me what you think. Be blunt and honest like me :) more…
