Halo of Hope

There's a whirlwind inside Of my head I'm like bread Without butter But instead, I am like no other There's a monsoon inside Of my wandering mindset I'm like a young child That gets extremely upset I'm far from mild… I'm in the wild… On my own Not all alone I don't really tell people How I feel or think that often... But when I do, It releases intense tension From my unstoppable, ever-racing brain My cranium is cracked open By your glowing, growing love again I haven't a clue About half what you've been through, But you and I are still sane I'm not in denial… Under pressure for a while… Hopelessness has taken its toll Your love is what I need as a whole You're the one and only that made me feel horribly awesome once more I'm sorry, but I must leave behind what we once had to reach that open door… The open door to something a lot more than what life can offer I am beyond flesh and bone and I will prove wrong the scoffer Poetry has made me feel at home with myself and I keep on moving on Writing my feelings down have made me who I am today from dusk to dawn Please heal me, for I am brought low From the scars of the grief-stricken past Ease the melodic, lonesome sorrow Of yesterday's tomorrow and make it last Had some traumatic stuff happen to me and I can't get over some I did a bad, bad thing and I feel remorse as ripe as the finest plum I'm so focussed on the wrongs I've done in life That I have almost forgotten what I've done right I conceal these tears that I shed inside, But I'm alive and will survive the future strife With the remaining strength I got with pride… Not to mention my unfathomable might Also, my passionate potential of taking divine flight The substantial data of my brain accumulates over time Your love cost me more debt than committing a catastrophic crime I am resilient and radiant like the illuminating sun in the desert climate of Arizona I can't deny the heat of the moment we both experienced...I remember the aroma - The aroma of our replenishing, precious adoration I remember our rather lovely, gracious experimentation Your arduous beauty makes me feel like the wondrous clouds above Your treacherous ways sought forgiveness and mercy veiled you with love My darling love, I feel like my longing mind is occupied with your care and cheer What am I thinking of? I am thinking about your hopeful halo of light that gives me no fear Hopefulness shines in your fearless eyes Liberty is for us to sift out the awful lies
