Someplace

Every now and then take some time
look back at the good and bad I' done
so careless in tryin to heal a heart
when I didn't know 
my own.

Someday wake far away from hurt
far from my own bed, just lay my head 
square in your lap, welcomed in endless dream  
the same we made 
in love of spring.   

You're the only one who really knew,
only one that saw right through
wish God'd give me another chance- 
go back to a wonderful then  
listen to you laugh, and cry
dance again. 

Heard a familiar voice, like a whisper
promising forever.. 
thought maybe I lost my mind
this time
but you know I ain't that clever.

Begged the stars for an answer 
holding on to a belief 
a last embrace  
nothing's ever really gone      
all that love has to go
someplace.

Exuding love and longing--missing that special someone--your poem is filled with passion, Richard. Splendidly written, a symphony of emotions:--Someday wake far away from hurt far from my own bed, just lay my head square in your lap, welcomed in endless dream the same we made in love of spring-- You're the only one who really knew, only one that saw right through ---so heartfelt, my friend. A FAVE.
