The entire universe is a fantasy

Except for

Is real
Never write poetry after 8 beers

It's Blank

                   My heart

It's Blank

                   My mind

It's Blank

                       My words

It's Blank

                                         The canvas of my life

Sorry!

If ever there was a man
Who sought to understand

The trouble in your heart

It was me

To apply a healing touch
To comfort and as such

To curb the flood of tears

It was me

Now the time I fear has come
My work complete, must run

Just remember as you smile

It was me
I have been the turnkey in many a life, with no regrets

There was a moment
There was a time
You in my arms
Your heart beat with mine

I thought that I knew
I thought you were mine
I thought it was true
But only to find

It was only a moment
A snapshot in time
I look to that moment
To see I was blind
What you believe to be true might only be true in that moment

No more wick to light
The candle lost its fight
It actually is about a candle that I couldn't light. Lol

I built a house of many rooms
Each different from the rest

The threads of time, each memory
are woven through my nest

The room of youth
Just windows now

I peer but
Cannot see

So many rooms of love within
I feel the memories

Each room is filled with lessons learned
The staircase as you will

I'm still building strong and true
New memories UNTIL...
Thinking about life

Be my muse
If you accept
I'll immortalize

Your beauty
Forever in verse

With words
Will describe
The ecstasy

Of a fantasy
I would love
To traverse

Be my muse
And feel the
Passion I feel

Surrender to the
Moment sublime

Take a leap and let go
Be my muse and you'll know
The love you will feel

When you're mine
Certain people move me to write
