Eye by XoMEoX
With eyes open
I see nothing
Blank and empty
Lonely and sad
Eyes shut
Life explodes
Love and laughter
Never ending
They’re just memories
Glorious moments
Wonderful feelings
Excited, open eyes
With eyes open
I see nothing
Eyes shut
Life explodes
I’d rather
Have my
Eyes wide shut
In the early days of this project (before I started keeping a personal archive of poems found but not immediately published), I discovered quite a bit of poetry on the Tucson Missed Connections. Over the years though, Tucson was supplanted by Flagstaff as the Craigslist location more likely to have some interesting writing. I didn’t realize I had any Tucson poems saved until just now.
