Poetry

“ And then I realised the fire was always burning within me, but the flames were busy keeping everyone else warm “

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
and before the street begins,
and there the grass grows soft and white,
and there the sun burns crimson bright,
and there the moon-bird rests from his flight
to cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
and the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow
and watch where the chalk-white arrows go
to the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
for the children, they mark, and the children, they know,
the place where the sidewalk ends.

Should I write to you, or should I write about you?
Which words of yours are worthy of being etched into ink?
Every night, I confess my secrets to the moon, whispering your name.
Should I call you my garden of flowers, or my greatest heartbreak?
I will write through the day and the night, pouring out all my unsaid words.
Should I write of my love, or of your cold rejection?
If I were a poet, I would have captured the light in your eyes, the curve of your lips, and the strength of those arms that once protected me unknowingly becoming my only sanctuary.

"Nothing vanishes the light in a man's eye:
Like the abandonment of a woman,…
Who was his land, sky and universe."

You came as a light, that lit my heart
It was your sight, that took my heart ❤️

It is your love, that rhyme with my heart beat💗,
When I saw you, all pain is gone.

A beloved so far, yet so close,
Our hearts beat together, joined as one soul 💕

I smiled for everyone but my heart cried alone..

"Good night"

Close your eyes,
and find me
in the quiet darkness
where dreams begin.

I'll be waiting for you,

patiently,

for as long as it takes.
