Calm

Breathe… Sigh… Calm… 

Inspired 

Calm…

When the quiet moments are too loud
When the silence is deafening
Then my mind is wondering
Where hers are wandering

When the warmth is freezing
And the cold sizzling
When the fires are growing dim
Then my smiles grow grim

When the thoughts stay bottled up
When there isn’t a reply to “What’s up?”
When there is no silver lining
Then I’m as unsettled as the clouds

“Calm man, calm down…”
She says in a soothing voice
Sketchy mental images form…
Of the beautiful eyes and dazzling gaze

Memories vividly inscribed
…White tints, black shades of…
Purple and Gold
