Far from where I am going

I've written words
too many to count
yet too few to matter
into this notebook void
all of lust and longing
and all for you

I've carried
this recorder of pain
this vessel of ink mercy
just in case
I saw anything
that brought your presence
to my mind
in case
natures beauty
brought back
recollections
of better times

But of course
words were never enough.
never enough
to explain or display
your worth to me
never enough
to sway
the eyes of a wayward heart

and still I write
carrying on this
hopelessness of possibility
throughout endless pages.
still these pages
are for you
and will remain
as long as
my words linger
on your eyes

I certainly can relate to this. Words are sometimes all we have though and not to use them would create a pressure build up prone anytime to just blow up!

Thoughtful read - well penned -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
