From The One I Loved

A poem i wrote late february 2010 when i was a broken man who started to love again


Like desert sands that rest after storms
my mind it longs to droop into slumber
falling is my body and soul, until a sight awakens me
it lifts me up like a crisp autumn breeze lifts the withered leaves of summer
and gives me new life in the open air.

Throughout the hours of it's presence
times of happiness and sorrow are shared
and after reminising and opening myself
i feel better because it's there

Behind me are other sounds
ones of rhythm and rhymes,
but that matters not too me
for there is only one thing on my mind

It keeps my full attention
and removes my worries and fears,
It leaves me feeling reborn
because i live only for this moment


And when the time comes for us to part
i once again droop,
but this time,
i don't fall into slumber, but into bliss,
as i think of the night that just passed
and i am thankful for the time i got to spend
with the girl who helped to lift my soul
