"Reason Why"
Reason Why
There were many chapters written long ago
verses scribed in rhyme
force-fed flow to interpret
the real of what one man felt,
snow capped mountains silenced
in frozen drifts
dramatic dreams curled around barriers
erected in signature moves
for the burial
of destiny's dust
and then there were songs
un-sung
in charred chords of broken clouds
waiting
for the harmony we would find
in violins out of tune
harps damaged by rust
notes shredded by the melody
of long lost wishes
and we sang
the opus of our deliverance
Boxes of memories
flowered remnants of pillowed ink
fluff the stain of carved cravings
canvassing the brush of what
I use to write
crossing tomorrow's with yesterday's
drowning in discoveries that fairytales
fell with the fallen
until
my poetry became us
tracing the curve of your trembles
staining soft prints of tender
spilling whispers in delicate braille
pouring rain in the beautiful of you
and now I know the reason
I was meant to be a poet
to try and capture the essence of precious
the treasure of eternal
the blessing of life
The gift of your love
