She Becomes the Poetry

She becomes the poetry that we as writers write

So warm and gentle, hot like fire

Fiery and magnetic-pierces my heart with desire

And spills from heartbreak the words of me-my light

 

From the beginning of it all, from the start of the poem

She may have thought that this story was about her

I don’t know if that’s the case-subject image became blank

The light that was shown from me did the searching

Traveled through the storm

But the idea of this girl still became a blur

 

She becomes the story that I write

So interesting, so full of detail, filled with life, and yet so compelling

Captivating and motivating-she entices my mind

With every waking moment from the story that she herself is telling

 

The light returns back to me

With a story of its own to tell me

It tells of this girl who happened to have always been in back of me

Never once on my own turned to see who it happened to be

Never thought I had to-I’ll give my reason why

I’ve always wrote of one in a story-one who caught my eye

She becomes what I write-she becomes my poetry

She becomes my light and my destiny

 

She becomes everything that I hoped she would be

Reaching out to grab her hand

I come to realize that she's been here all along

Never been non-existent, never been behind the shadows

She's been here once again playing her daily song.

 

The light turned her into the poetry that I choose to read

Never wanting to put her down, never wanting to let her go

I never want to stop listening to what she has to say

Because she's the story that I want to read each and every day.
