PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In my life I’ve been any number of things –  

Some have been made to stay, 

Others wrested away, 

As for everything there’s a time and place. 

And so now, for you, in this sacred space, 

It’s time for me to be the lover. 

I’ll make all things right that have ever been wrong  

That exist within my power, 

Burnish the refrain of our favorite song 

Till it laps against you hour by hour. 

Whatever is tarnished 

Will now be golden and lush, 

Replaced with unvarnished  

Truth and the night’s gentle hush. 

For the absent things that bloomed into ache  

And other ones in need of repair 

I look in your eyes and sense what’s at stake 

With a means to soothe the damage there. 

I will work to learn what I don’t know 

And stand by you no matter the cost. 

We have what it takes to give and grow 

While we recover what has been lost. 

Yes, in my life I have been any number of things –  

Some have been made to stay, 

Others wrested away, 

As for everything there’s a time and place. 

And so now, for you, in this sacred space, 

It’s time for me to be the lover.
