Dreams of the past my soul
foretold
Laughing in silence at your
ignorant face
I know the truth of time and
space
Running in the garden of
Midnight’s full moon
Love evades me, it says “too
soon”
Tapestries of stars and a
canvas sky
Capturing nature for my eye
I feel the touch of Night’s
caress
Inside my soul it loves to
rest
Unspeakable words of truth
and heart
I rest my wings to play this
part
My true self unconcealed to
you
You love to kiss the depths
of blue
Know the truth as I depart
My spirit lives inside your
heart
The space inside me
You hollowed out
Gutted
With the spikes of your
words
And the knives of your
glares
The space inside me
You gently molded
Caressed like clay
With gentle hands
You formed the walls
Of its peaceful room
The space inside me
You sewed and cut
With loving care
You created your masterpiece
You put faith in every seam
And joy in every stitch
The space inside of me
You knocked out in fun
Pounded your way in
With sledgehammers and heavy
boots
When you’re not there
To play in it
It sits lonely
A strangely sad place
Quiet in its mourning
The space inside me
You created with light
Chased the shadows
To create your nest
You reside in warmth
Light coming from beneath
the door
Beckoning at me to knock
And be welcomed inside
At the stormy weather
I used to cringe and hide
Now I feel the hidden
strength
I know I hold inside
I wish I were this,
I wish I were that,
I see myself the way I
should be
I fight everyday
The demons inside
Past is behind me
At least I hope
The song of my soul
Cannot be silenced
No matter how low it gets
I still have blue eyes that
see everything
I still have long hair that
blows in the wind
I still run and flow as I
cry
The difference now
It seems to me
I no longer wait for dreams
to die
Imprisoned
Is what I am
Within my own body
My soul is captive
My skin is stone
A hard granite wall
My soul screams and fights
But it cannot escape
Cannot escape the horrific
shell
My spirit gazed desperately
Through it’s only two
windows
My eyes, its only view to
the world,
see more than my soul wants
to see
Its only escape is your warm
embrace
Beneath your touch my soul
flies free
You are its only refuge
It’s only hope
When you leave it trudges
back to its cell
Longing for you to visit
again.
