And when I spoke her freely My words, The cage became a bird. And my heart a frenzy because It longed for death and Now howls at her life. She smiles at the reflection Of my words, What shall I speak to her now? And the light dances in her smile, Her seasons burn lilies into My ideas, ******* my hands That were gone without hope, She brings a poet from death.
She punishes the darkness And all the monsters that **** Away the blood of life.
In the hour of her fullness Condensing on my lower lip, I breathe life into words, Though it was her name that Condemned my sorrows to the gallows.
And I am young again, My eyes speak, My mouth listens, And all my life has come to now. The end is a rebirth And I fled the dark side of night, The worn out lonely poet Has come one more into the light And for her, Because it was inevitably her, It is not too late.
I remember my sorrows When I destroyed flowers, The flowers withered in my hand Because the joy still lingered In them.
But she has devoured my chaos, Caged my fears And loosened the words.
And though I was lost in the abyss, Surrounded by a prison of regret, She loosed me from that place, And the cage became a bird.
