So dark, so beautiful,
So tender it hurts
Got something to give
And there’s no one around again
Just me and these words

Life is a wave carrying us
To the hither shore
There’s only one voice
And it’s the voice of you
Calling from afar

I want to feel without fear
And I want to cry your tears
But I cannot do
Those things without you

What you want is what you get
Be careful how you pray
Because prayers are sometimes answered
And you find yourself longing
For some other day

If wishes were diamonds
Held up to the sky
It would not be the answer
And you would be blinded
By the brilliance of their light

I want to touch without taste
And I want your time to waste
But I cannot do
Those things without you

It's so good to see your words
here again, in the blue pages...

Feels like summer, returning...

You by the touch of your arm
Echo the noise of the jewels
Possessed

Me thinks time with you wouldnt be time wasted if ya promise read your poetry aloud. *S*
love the imagery and wistfull bittersweet of this write..
somewhat different style for you from your usual rhyme..I like the change up.

We carry on our backs the burden time always reveals ...
The lonely light of morning, the wound that would not heal.

Beautiful..simply beautiful!

Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.
