Notes About The Poem
This a song I wrote to a French girl I was in like with back in 1983. She lived in a tall student apartment building--the tower. She indirectly got me into writing poetry.
Odessey
Where
To find the road to you
The road that leads me home
The home that finds me in your arms again
How
To see my journey through
The journey where I roam
I roam the world in search for you 'til then
Till then I'll seek
The image in my mind
The dream that still yet breathes
The heart that beats
The eyes after her her kind
Then
I'll face the rising sun
The sun that brings new life
A life for us to share as one again
What
Must I do to prove true
True to the quest I hold
A quest un-vowed, but binding to my heart
When
The day that I'll find you
Find you in my arms, hold
Hold you in my arms, never more to part
To part ones past
Erase the moments lost
Replaced with memories shared
Which don't exist
The past is just a ghost
Part
A mistake once past made
Made then without a choice
The choice that split the two halves of our heart
Why
This odessey to seek
To seek the way to to you
To you who are just memories in my mind
Be
It possible to speak
To speak again to to you
To you for whom I'd give my life to find
How
To see my journey through
The journey where I roam
I roam the world in search for you 'til then
Where
To find the road to you
The road that leads me home
The home that finds me in your arms again
In your arms again
