    My black
    by Tabby

    }

    I see darkness as these eyes open.
    And not the morning sunshine.
    Tears form in these useless eyes.
    Still stunned that I have gone blind.

    I miss my family's faces and smiles.
    And the beautiful sunsets by the sea.
    I long to watch the stars at night.
    I miss the way that it use to be.

    Oh how I want to lay on my back;
    and look up at the blue lit sky.
    and pointing out different shapes;
    that are in the clouds that roll by.

    But most of how I miss the joy;
    of seeing color all around me.
    I cant see any beauty anymore.
    Because black is all that I see.

    An hour ago...
    by J. Lau

    Please...
    Someone please...
    Please turn on the light.
    I see shadows moving around,
    But nothing appears quite the same.

    It's so dark in here,
    Why doesn't anyone turn on the light?
    What time is it now?
    I thought we just finished breakfast.
    Please answer me... Someone.

    I remember walking in the park,
    Just after my morning coffee.
    I remember it was a clear blue sky,
    I strolled along the thick green grass,
    And watching the children play.

    On my way back home,
    A car ran a red light and struck me.
    I remember so many people around me,
    Asking if I was alright.
    I remember telling them that I'm o.k.,
    Stood back up and walking back home.

    That was an hour ago...
    I know my eyes are as wide as they can be,
    But why can't I see?
    What is happening to me?
    Why is everything so dark and grey?

    Life was full of colors and joy only yesterday,
    Now it's dark and cold.
    Why did this happen to me?
    Images now exists only from my memories,
    ... just less then an hour ago.
    My life...
    Will never be the same...
    Anymore.

    tales of an eye...

    A pair of eyes
    look into this world
    through the unfolded way
    nothing much it can say

    the shaded mirror
    thus reveal itself
    to every corner of its sight
    seek for an eternity

    O mortal
    what on earth is going
    no sun and rainbow
    all merely black thick clouds

    the boundless agony
    inescapable agitating
    begging for a chance
    to give ones a face

    O, a pair of eyes
    would you do me a story...?
    amid mountain cape with snow
    how the water slowly flow

    a pair of eyes...
    please let me know
    how wonderful Rose's feature
    as it is a god's creature

    a pair of eyes
    have you ever feel...?
    the world seems made of steel..
    even though smile drawn on this lips

    a pair of eyes
    will u lend me a moment
    to watch tonight falling star..
    to take away all this scar..

    the northern warm wind
    touch the colorless grass
    creates such emptiness.
    struck the trackless mind

    the endless tale of sky
    waiting time pass by and by
    braving the summer
    till the everlasting..

    Pictures in the mind

    Remember the colours,
    The beauty of the world,
    Looking out over the valleys,
    Seeing a rainbow in the sky,
    The spectrum of colours,
    That would brighten a rainy day,
    Remember the glistening frost,
    Laying on the ground,
    Glistening in the moonlight,
    Of a cold winters morn,
    No longer can these things be seen,
    I open my eyes and nothing is there,
    I can still feel the frost on my skin,
    The cold biting at my flesh,
    But no more can I see the pure white,
    Hear the grass crunching below my feet,
    And smell log fires in the darkness,
    But never again will I see such things,
    For my sight has been stolen,
    Taken from me by some invisible force,
    Leaving my eyes useless,
    Empty dark holes,
    So I will have to use my memories,
    To know the beauty of the world,
    To see the delicate patens in the sky,
    To witness the golden sun rise,
    Feel the heat upon my face,
    And the breeze though my hair,
    But never can these things enter anew,
    Only those sights of old now remain,
    I will never more see the external world,
    Left to rely solely on my mind.

    Love Is Blind Already

    As I look into your eyes
    You say you can't see
    Yet when I take your glasses away
    Just look harder you can see me

    Who would have ever thought
    You would ever go blind
    It doesn't make a difference you will always be mine

    With my picture in your head
    Just smile at me
    If you want Ill close my eyes forever
    And see everything you see

    Or perhaps just a touch
    Just lay your head on my heart
    Open your eyes
    That could be the best start

    Please dont be mad
    Nor turn your back to me
    Put the cane down
    Grab my hand
    I'll forever lead thee;

    Our love wont change
    Nor the way we speak
    Our destiny is written
    It's just you and me

    Ill hold you closer
    When you want to cry
    Ill catch your tears
    That is no lie

    But at the end of the day
    Ill go to sleep with you
    For in the midst of the night you can see
    That everything is just a dream

    Youll wake up tomorrow
    Right by my side
    With a gentle kiss Ill see those beautiful blue eyes.

    Ill caress your face
    Stare you down
    Take away every last frown

    Kiss you softly
    Forget about the world
    Look into my eyes
    You will always, forever, be my world.
