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

Music starts playing

Like the sunrise starts the day

You are a lifetime away

Eyes met

Hearts touched

From dust

to dust

One life

Like a car full of rust

Waited as long as I could

I turned my back on you

Turned my back on everything I knew

To start fresh

A new break of day

And my sorrows I push

A world away

Heart to heart

Head to head

My cheeks flush red

Thinking back on all the years

That have passed

What’s to come

How long will this life last?

Questions asked while I look above

Emotions running

And I run into love

Songs not to old

But also not young

Blasting in my ears

And I run

To the string of a guitar

The stroke of a piano’s key

When you knelt down and sat on my knee

You’ll be the prince

And I’ll be the princess

Words sung

Words said

A life with you

I know is going to be the best

I made my choice

Through the darkness

I sussed out the light

The people who matter

A knock at the door

A string on my heart

You pulled once more

And I came to life

A doll picked up from the floor

A princess

Your forever more

And I remember Angels in my hair

A book I meant to read

Words unseen

Words unspoken

Some hearts were left broken

Red and yellow

The colours I see

Third eye open

And I call out

For you to come to me

Find your way

Through the looking glass

Through the mirror

Or the picture

That you see

Call out my name

Like the blessed trinity

Three I knew so well

Three I followed down the trail

And maybe I can pick up where I left off

Find the path back

Back to that girl

Sitting in the ambulance

Tears in my eyes

Scared for my life

Over one of those guys

Things that happened long ago

Worlds away

Play in my dreams

Sometimes in my daydreams

Holding me down

Voice in my head

Sometimes I think it would be easier

To play dead

Dead to you

Dead to an old world

Dead to a record that never ends

Songs I sing

In the glory of life

Like my red lipstick

I left by door

Living a life

I don’t understand anymore

Can’t get up

Can’t stay down

My thoughts go round and round

“in red lipstick, with no one to impress”

And I remember back

To new years day

Little black dress

Red lips too

But one thing was missing

And that was you

But I didn’t know then

What I know now

We weren’t meant to meet

Until now

Two worlds collide

6 years soon to be

And I remember the day

The angels dropped you off to me

I sat on the bed

You on a chair

And I remember there were a few other people there

Eyes locked

Goodbye came

And that started

What’s the name of the game

I found love in new way
