Words seem to fail as I think about the time
In the wonder of another sun I wrote you the love
Feel me in the word of my love as I see you free
In the eyes of my heart I hold you against the wind and sand of time
Old dreams yours and mine blend to together in the mist
of early dawn and in the love shared you were on the edge of my mind
Sing me a place were money does not count
If you be a god or a goddess why did you pick me
So dumb as to believe I could overcome prestige
Silly days spent in the path of not caring and we just let it pass
So much I was lost in those dreamy blue eyes and child inside me cried
Because in the morning I knew you would be gone to the world of safe
Car races the edges of a drunken nightmare as your father's face sours
His beautiful daughter out with a reject from a time that died
His hand shook in fear when he realized that you were in love
Written in the stars long before fate slipped up
Glow of life burned through the blue eyes and golden hair, I was alive
A wild-eyed child following only his heart with hard hands
Summer drifted among the lily pads kiss of summer sun love burned red hot
You melted into me like the fire lost in the dreams of passion-filled nights
Warm the glow of the hearts that reached for and found the single dream
Fall rested in the cold rooms of an empty old house left dead by the father’s money
Fear filled his heart as he realized he could not buy my heart but your mother begged me to leave
Idealist in the body talks to the mind, not worthy of, not having enough to give
Fired up the goat and drove the last miles to the hell of war, Metronome Island gained your grace
Hollow spot grows in the void left my your loss to sad lonely child man
Death ran around me in the hail of screams dying in throats still I saw you
Returning I found you, hooked on the drugs of hate, white powder leads to a dying fate
Educated well beyond your years, you cried in my arms, I gave you back to them whole
I did not fit your new social sands and your friends hated that I took you from their hell
White powder you are cured and I leave your hate, of my job done, killed love, a piece of you
By my wit, I live in the shadow, of old knowledge, that makes me, a value add
Layered in the world of money, you found me, just as you left me, in love with you
Torture finds many entrances in my mind and positions I call my life
Older now you touch my hand, with a smile, eyes melt my soul, but you have nothing left, to give me that I have not already taken form you
Age of pain seen and laid, makes a man, no less a man, but maybe more of a lost child
Alone, I always was looking for you, but when I found you, you were gone
Social graces allow you, to be the angel, to the poor, my soul cries out
In my world, I am a reaching beacon, to those in my path, to you, I am still your lover
Hope falls into the skill of capture, the net filled with holes allows a spiral hold
Stood next to you, at a party and dedication, in a foolish moment
Soft and child like, you knew we needed to test the rule
We are still drifting on the lake and the taste of love filled every inch of both of us
Wisdom at the sun's light consumed us before parting, we parted knowing some things are not allowed
Dreaming is the only world that is real as the days turn life to the young and foolish
Love Tinka
I can't even begin to express the wrenching this one did in my heart. Certainly a gripping read from the begining to the very last word. Sad and so terribly filled with anguish and pain. Pardon the sensitive heart, as tears rolled as I read this. Exceptionally emotive poetry Walter, one that really claws deep. May you find that dreaming can become a reality, but let go a past anguish.
Warm hugs
