Whispers of Light

In the distance I saw you there Forgive my silly childlike stare But lately I’ve become so aware Of your whispers of light You shine brighter than the rest It’s incredibly obvious you’re the best All night flight I’d gladly invest For your whispers of light I’m not surprised when I arrive To see such brilliance you’re so alive Your other suitors can’t seem to survive Your whispers of light I’m getting closer to your flame This journey has been somewhat insane I'm expecting the miraculous, girl I finally came To your whispers of light I’ve been warned you’re more than clever That closer to you means closer to never To hold you in that moment is to regret forever Still I'm drawn to your whispers of light To see others fall only makes me stronger How can I resist your angel glow any longer Reached out to touch couldn't have been wronger Your whispers of light made this moth a goner! ~Lyric Man Note: This is a song about how the bright light of infatuation blinds. Like a moth attracted to the flame. Sometimes getting closer to your target is dangerous, even fatal :)

Lyric, I love this! What a brilliant write about that intoxicating attraction - like a moth to a flame - where one can't help but get burned. Every line is a poetic beauty especially your last two - love the use of 'wronger' - it just seemed righter! Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

Dear Chance Summer: What can I say? Lovely and definitely You. I recognise your voice that's been away more than a year. And definitely missed. Welcome back dear Friend. And bravo! All the best then, Leon.

Hi Chance! I've been going through some of your poems and I can definitely say that these captivating poems written in lyric form flow from a silver pen which I had grown so used to a couple of years back! ~ I like the added short notes, too. Regards // paul
