You are not known, but
You are welcome,
Free breath provokes hope,
The future will come,
Your timing is perfect.
We danced in the moonlight, our footsteps a gentle hush
By the river's whisper, where shadows play and rush
I wore a mask of laughter, a disguise so bright
But you, my love, saw through the cracks, into the dark of night

You never wore a mask, your face a canvas of truth
A beauty so unflinching, it cut through my youth
I searched for solace in the hiding places of my heart
But you, my love, were the seeker, tearing us apart

For to you, love was a test, a game to be won
A prize to be claimed, a trophy to be shown
But I, my love, was the prize, the one to be sought
A mystery to be unraveled, a heart to be caught

In your eyes, I saw a glimmer of a love so true
But it was a fleeting moment, a spark that flew
For in the end, it was just a game, a play to amuse
Leaving me with just a whisper, a haunting muse
people they write poems about the way they feel
write it down on paper help there mind to heal
expressing it in words what they want to say
to take away the pain its the only way

write it from the heart let your feelings show
what you want to say write down and let it go
get it off your chest say what you want to say
this will ease your mind take your pain away
I've always enjoyed a good cup of coffee,
Which is why I've gotten really good at making it.
My slow solo morning sips,
It was the only time my coffee got the attention I believed it deserved.
But then you took your first sip of my coffee.
It was a slow sweet simple sip,
Yet my coffee seemed to find a place where it was truly meant to be enjoyed.
She poured
All the love
She didn't get from you
And gave you away freely
Into herself now.

I guess it is true
Some people
Come into our lives
To teach us unconditional love
While others are there
To teach us Self-love....
