Poem Title:
Poem
"He sings his hymns every night, that she will know the sounds that echo in his heart." A gift he offers to soothe my lonely days for in most of my waking hours we must be apart. "She reveals a hint of a mystery lady in her words and reflections." No mystery am I to the one I hold dear My love proclaimed with tender affections. "Faith and love are the essential secrets to happiness. That you possess both," he said, "is a great gift." Thereafter, he sparked in me a flame of desire I penned my emotions with the speed of a swift. "That you can express them so beautifully is a joy to read. But not all puzzles," said he, "need to reveal their true self." I pondered his words, wondering what he'd meant Was he expressing love or I am fooling myself? "Like two lovers lost in the night sky, only to find one was a fixed star and the other a shooting star, fading, lost in the dawning of light." Confused, I waited with questions, clarification of what he meant. Time passed slowly until he came to me that night. "Some walls are built to keep things out and some to keep them in. And some walls we need to just tear down. Once more unto the breach." I knew there was a wall between us. Could it be torn down? Did he want me in his life or out? His reply I would beseech. "I felt this one deeply, Jen. Every line an ode to love, just fingertips apart yet somehow distant. How deep the trenches." I knew the answer and was flushed with relief He spoke of love's flame and the fire in him that I quench. "Sometimes with emotional waves, you never see them coming then all of sudden they hit you like a tsunami." I contemplated every word he had spoken as I walked along the shore on a night warm and balmy. "Joy and misery are the fulfillment of life and experience. You can't know one without the other." It's a life of happiness I want to share with him To have the joy of loving him forever is what I'd rather. "The mysterious raven - harbinger in the night, silhouette at the window," he added, "Like honey, baby, from the bee, you leave me wanting more." No more questions did I ask during our trysting time together Hours spent laughing and loving with the swan I'd come to adore. April-8-2023-kj
