I picture a woman,
who loves me again.
I picture a place
from a treasured old when.
I picture a cause
my dull passion embraces.
I picture fresh ideas,
fresh language, fresh faces.
I picture a smile
unintended, automatic.
I picture pairs of eyes
expressive and ecstatic.
I picture the cure
for life long aching.
I picture the pictures
that I long to be taking.

i picture being with someone amazing
who fits me perfectly
i picture it, but its not now.. its in the future
and im ok with that.

A camera’s eye
Is paltry and reserved.
While human lenses,
Greater wonders have observed.
Like or Dislike:
+1
my attempt to freeze time
and live in a place where
only smiles reside
Like or Dislike:
+2
There used to be no smiling in photographs,
no plastered grins like those captured today.
But it seems the hardened stares of my ancestors
contain the realness of every passing day.
