eloquence lost...it makes no sense.
there's just no need to ride the fence.
I want my fill, I need my feed.
for you, I'd die, for you I'd bleed.
my stories rest on perfect prose
the rhyming, timing soft wind blows
the hush of circumstance I feel
the need to dream and gently kneel.
the sweetest roses softest bloom
the way your embers fill the room
and I could paint a picture fair
with words expressed of how I care.
but, if they fall on silenced lips
they feel as broken fingertips
and float expressless without view
as slumbers dreams quite often do.
and trickle down as sorrow's seed
the bruise of pain that melts as need
and leaves a footprint on my soul
that claims my breath and leaves a hole.
I see the words displayed in print
designed to tease your sentiment
and I have heard the undertone
released to shake me from this throne.
but here I sit with peace of mind
my queen, my queen...the fairest find
I will not, cannot, must not bend
against the arrows others send.
for I have seen the passing ships
and heard your words expressed from lips
that I am you and you are me
and evermore, forever be.
this love, my love will stand the test
will prove the truth and slay the rest.
that you have claimed my heart and more
that you are someone I adore.
