Nights spent

Waiting for words to come

For a world of poetry

In my minds eye

Words that would roll off my tongue

And onto a page

Words that helped me feel like me

Words that would set me free

Free from my fears

Free from anxiety

After all these years

Something creative

Maybe a melody

Picking the strings of an old guitar

That wasn’t left for me

Sometimes I just need the paper

And a pretty pen

Not much comes out

But even then

I feel free

Free to tell you how I feel

Let the whole world know

What you mean to me

And if I had the voice

I’d sing the sweetest melody

Just for you

A song made

Just for us two

The life we live

The secrets we share

And the cross

I once had to bear

No longer around my neck

Holding me down

And in my ears

I hear the sound

The sound of love

The sound of freedom

The sound of peace

A sound that hits me deep

And I remember

I am the spell

My words

My thoughts

My actions

My prayers

All showing you

That I care

And I waited so long

To sit here

Instrumental music in my ears

Thinking back on the previous years

Where I would sit and write through my pain

Write a word

My heart would pour

And my world came crumbling down

Pieces shattered on the floor

Like a broken mirror

Which was the only door

Into a world I once knew

I once saw so clearly

Now with the pieces back together

And a glance or two

I found you

Through the cracks

And through the smoke

Of a heart on fire

You lit up my desire

Hands interwoven

And all of my hearts

Are suddenly open

My heart of love

My heart of pain

My heart playing the game

And I fell into you

Like a water fall fills the pool below

Fill me up

And see my heart glow

Golden specks

Red like the fire

A world of desire
