Poetry has given me the ability to feel deeply, and to express what so
many can’t…
I think we’ve been given voices
to share with those around us, and sometimes you just bless someone without
even knowing it. When our words bleed on paper, that potential always exists.
Eternally
if I could, somehow, dive
into the depths of your soul
where solitude seems to live
I would calm the storms, my love
redirect the winds of despair
and carry your burden that
has
become too
ponderous
to
bare
if I could, somehow, light
up the darkness that engulfs
your heart
I would pluck stars from the
heavens
and shine the moon in your hours
of dark
if I could touch you but once, my
dear
for you to feel the flames of
love I endure
you would forever bask in my
warmth
if I could kiss you, paint your
lips with mine
you would feel our souls
intertwine
-and my love-
if we were to become one
the light of my endearment
-that I have constantly shone-
will leave us
eternally
as
one
