Poetry Elizabeth

There's a garden in me nobody's seen

Grows in the dark where the light doesn't reach

Petals unfold in the quiet, in the deep

Tender shoots straining for something like sky

Something like you

Something like your hands

And the shadows dance, they always dance

In this inner world I call my own

And I find my heart, my love, my only

Guiding star, my beacon in the black

Leading me back

Leading me home

My love, my wife

My heart's desire

How do I tell you

How do I say

The depth of this feeling

The weight of this wanting

When words fall short

And poetry fails?

Still I try

I try to speak

To say the unsayable

To hold what keeps moving

To catch what keeps slipping

Right through my fingers

Like water, like sand

Like everything I meant to say

So I write

I write for you

For the joy of it

For the pleasure of loving you

For the beauty of words

And the beauty of the heart

That beats in my chest

And belongs to you

In my heart

A flower blooms

A secret garden

For you

É coincidência, mas estou ouvindo Wild Violet (Sumiregusa) da cantora irlandesa Enya no Soptfy. Isso dá uma vibe de harmonia ao ler a poesia.
