The time i wrote like a chick :P

Sorry, the poem's actually serious stuff..but, Lol, it was all this flowery, i'm-stuck-here-n-need-u kinda feel, that made me title it thus! It all stemmed from a single phrase 'lead-lidded eyes' that a friend induced outta me...so any credit this work's worth goes entirely to her! :P

I watched from my window, as the,

Thing we called life, marched along.

The cresting and falling of tomorrows,

As the yesterdays sang their lullaby song.

Led onward, eyes lead-lidded, I walked,

Pausing not to think where it all went askew.

I smiled and talked, was everyone's friend,

As everyday, deeper in, my soul withdrew.

As I toiled everyday to beat the busy clock,

To resist the vice-like grip of solitude within.

The wind could only be my companion so long,

The sun and clouds had their own games to play and win.

As this world pressed upon my synthetic cocoon,

I yearned to break free and to finally fly,

Just as you came, and were answered,

My life's every how, what and why.

You were the sole reason that justified,

The rusty monotone the world turned out to be.

Unbounded joy, within you I knew,

Funny how contained in you was an infinity.

Now that you're here, the final piece is in place,

Together we shall herd the followers that follow.

As sentients, then specters, shall forever always,

We watch over our kingdom, this earthly hollow.
