I wish I could show you I’m more than just words. That in this heart of mine there flourish mysteries that speak across the miles and years of space and time. Hidden jewels more beautiful than heaven’s gates, if only they could be seen. Within my soul there burns the flame of hope that needs not words nor masks to convey but just your presence with me, here, to stay. In the candlelight I stretch my memories and see in flooding waves of recognition, those eyes, that breached my heart so long ago. Come thither and unwrap me from the shadows; unfurl my love upon your golden chest.
I wish I could show you the spirals my fingers make upon the tapestries of recollection. The weaving circles and curving thumbs that seek your face to tender touch. Possibilities pose themselves across the walls where I paint. With brush in hand, there are no limitations to haunt our souls nor fears to cease the bond I thought we held. Onerous thoughts that mere words will not alleviate. Hold the love I bestowed into your hands and come here soon, for in this darkness a heart yearns to beat.
I wish I could show you I’m more than just words. That in this soul of mine there is a sea of forgiveness waiting to be released. A willingness for you and I to meet as one and sail across this ocean’s pride. A journey where our silence heals and gentle touch two spirits seal. Take pause and lift your lantern high. Raise my face unto your eyes and seek the treasures that within I hide. Pittance’d verse of poet’s flair come short of all that inside I’ve now become. Uncover me from the shadows deep and I will shine within your heart, forever more.
