Dedication

A black hole is consuming my limitless imagination
My wings are succumbing to wretched contamination
But it's you I see coming out of the distance
It's you I see who brings solution instead of resistance

I know that I'm fragile, always afraid of things falling apart
But with you it's so natural, you mend the cracks to my heart
You embrace me, hold me in your arms
I feel protected, ghosts can no longer harm

Love was something I thought just couldn't exist
When I've seen people who shamefully cut their wrists
But out of all this damage you have shown there is repair
Ignorance ruled me yesterday, today I begin to care

And slowly all my pain, it drains out from my veins
Slowly I feel the sun, instead of the cold, drenching rain
You are forever beautiful, the roses bloom from your face
For once they are not wilted, they seem to be in place

You make everything hurtful go away, you set it all free
You rescue me from drowning water, with you I can finally breathe
And I'm telling you what I feel for you is true
An ugly past best forgotten, I have traded in every black and blue

Know when I'm talking to you, I can smile once again
Instead of another enemy, I know I've met a friend
And I write these words all for you, I'll read them everyday
Loving you, it feels like heaven and finally that's okay

 -For someone who I can say I'm glad I met,

Because all of the others I regret.

Posted by harmattan 2008-08-20 03:20:37 Only for you Before you meet a handsome prince you've got to kiss a lot of frogs. Light at the end of a tunnel? You describe a basic emotion that we all need to experience. Takes us back to when mum kissed a grazed knee to make it better. Kind regards Harmattan + Report this comment

Posted by iRant 2008-08-20 09:14:43 .... i liked what harmattan said about finding your way, i think that fits this poem most appropriatly. the only thing is after the vocabulary used in the first stanza, I was a little let down by the usage in the following stanzas. + Report this comment

Posted by Eternal_Bliss440 2008-08-21 10:40:34 .... I really like this. I knew you could write something with hope for once. It just takes time to finally get it out before you actually write it. I know becuase hopeful poems for me used to be so hard to write. But this one I can see great potential in your work nad you improving it. THis is one of my favorites. + Report this comment
