Something In The Heavens

 

                                                                     

Unrequited

          

Unrequited 

Were I to pen a letter true

And tell my deepest thoughts to you

What would you think, what would you say

Would you rebound and run away?

Were I to sing a song of love

And convince you that 'twas from above

Would you in rapture listen to

And believe the words I sing to you?

Were I to die for true love's sake

Would you from slumber come awake

And love me then like you don't now

If I should die for you somehow?

Were I to die and haunt your dreams

In golden fields by crystal streams

In downy clouds lie down in love

Would that then win for me your love?

For all I've done has come to naught

I've found no hope in what I've sought

You've passed me by like I'm unseen

And kissed me only in my dreams.

And though I've laid my heart out bare

I know for me you do not care

My song's unheard, my words unread

In heartache's hand I make my bed.

Were I to wish now that I die

Would you in pity deem to try

And kiss my lips for pity's sake?

I'll dream forever and never wake.

I Thought Myself

I Thought Myself

I thought myself a symphony

With perfect rhyme and grace

Melody pure and so sublime

Until I saw your face

I thought myself a masterpiece

With art throughout my form

But my colors melted into gold

When I felt myself reborn

I thought myself a perfect poem

Writ to bring a tear

To every listening heart that could

And every hearing ear

I thought myself complete and whole

With no fear of exposure

Until my heart fell in your hands

And I lost all composure

I  thought myself but I didn't know

I didn't know my lack

Until you saw my broken-ness

And gave me myself back

And if I may, I'd like to stay

Here in your paradise

I thought myself but now I know myself

Shining in your eyes.
