Words I Write for You

Golden rays melt to flowing red, 
the stillness of the night ahead. 
Sitting by my lonesome self 
taking memories off the shelf. 

My fingers start to write 
in the quiet of the night. 
My words are from my heart 
so that is where I'll start. 

Place your hand in mine, 
walk with me through time. 
My words are yours to keep 
close beside you while you sleep. 

Each night a poem of love I write 
with feathered quill in black and white. 
My heart to you only I bare, 
with words of love, and how much I care. 

Writing in the hush of night, 
waiting for dawn’s coming light. 
It's a quarter of three 
and as always, there's only me.

Such a beautiful heart should never be alone.

Thank you for your caring and your kind words Alison. All of my writing I do utterly alone, doing my best to close out the world. While good, that is for the creative process, the rest of my life is far better, but in a totally different way. Again, thank you for seeing the me behind the words. Ron
