Just For Me

I'm writing this just for me
to find a place to live inside, peacefully
filling my words with all the warmth of my love
I hope you find something for yourself in my rhyme
but this is written just for me
for all the dreams that echo in my mind

I can write one for you
to help you find a place to live inside, peacefully
you can fill your heart with all the warmth of my love
I hope I can find something for myself in your eyes
but this one is just for me
I need it more than I ever realized

When the night is dark, the moon is blue
these words can see me through
without a hope, without you
I cradle my love within a verse
lifting the veils, lifting the curse
of everyday heartbreak
from golden daybreak to purple nightfall
I'll see me through it all
if I don't have you
I'll walk tall in poetry
I'll talk of all that I am in song

I'm writing this just for me
just for me

and I'm remembering how to love
just for you
just for you

"Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey

Oh, yes...
always write just for you,
but leave it out, conspicuously,
that it will shine for others, too...

look deep into each word
and you will understand the

Yes, you should write for you...
perhaps to then share with us or one individual.

There is a bite to your style, and I think this is my favorite so far.
Self discovery is akin to exploring the wilderness. A multitude of beauty found within.  Nice work. TD
