I will wait

The Moon he waits on the Sun to rise
To take his place amongst the stars
The rose wakens with morning dew
Embrace the day and start anew

Patience a virtue longs to be
A rainbow only follows rain
A lover’s caress, a memory
I visit you inside my dream

A biding of time to pass the day
Winter falls in deepest slumber
Seasons do pass by counting their days
A wish on bended knee I pray

If good things come to those in waiting
The passing of time without you
My heart it waits for you forever
If ever is never
Still I will wait for you

Ink

Drowning in a blue inkwell
Suffocating in your words
Unravelled and chaotic
My sublime to your absurd

Hidden treasures I do find
In some of your rambling thoughts
Falsehoods spiraling
The words you choose say a lot

Careful conjecture takes me
To a place I cannot delve
Love inconspicuously
Keeps my heart upon a shelf

Wax my darling poetic
With an ounce or two of rhyme
Every word you have spoken
Forever kept in my mind

Straight is the arrow you aim
From dear Cupid’s wordy bow
A bullseye when you kiss me
A miss when you let me go

Parting is such sweet sorrow
The romantic oft’ will say
When Dear John starts your letter
No words can cradle the break

Knowing you were there

I may have perhaps maybe
Overlooked a thing or two
Promised that you mattered
Made you feel my untruth
Living in a fantasy
An escape from a life blue
Wanting every bit of you
But still less then you deserved
Keeping what was broken
Hoping you couldn't see
Every indecision
Kept me away from free
I painted me a picture
Unorthodox family
Where everyone was happy
And hope sprung from belief
A tiny place that kept me
From my own reality
A place where my life ended
Where I find eternity
In my jar of hearts you stay
A love forever true
Perhaps maybe one day
I find my way to you

Daughter

How did I not feel
The sadness in you
How did I not know
You were feeling blue
Why did I not see
What you wouldn't let me
I love you daughter
You're my everything
