Photographs stir inside
Grasping a birthday wish
Thirst and hunger subside
Frustrations built like a wall
Slowly, yet with sated ease,
Allowing you to enter,
You break the walls of slicing past
And pull me from my centre
Staring at what I should have done
Gravitating to a brand new me
No longer sipping on cravings
Voices stretch out to you
Allowing words to touch my sense
It may have left me long ago…
And in the midst of innocence
I tremble as new wings grow
Sweet fascination spreads
Leaping for your finger tips
Throwing away could haves
October skies open up
I let the rain pour over me
Cleanse my doubts and cure my mind,
Cast out shadows of bruised yesterdays
Tiptoe through days I’m yet to find
Reborn and teary eyed
Appreciation drenched in our song
Fallen and tattered
Still seeing and clenching on to you
My voice cries notes of you and I,
You heal my wounds, I will not die
In storms I hold you, beat your heart
A molten canvas, whispered art.
