I shed no tears that have not already been wept I make no promises that have not been kept For if within my power I would give until I bleed Flowers will only bloom from a tendered seed
Reaching out I know I can touch the skies As my fingertips caress the tears in your eyes I grab the blossom that in the wind flies And the lonely Wolf no longer cries
For without you I am without myself Gathering the dust upon that lonely shelf Awaiting you to waken me from my slumber And touch all the stars in their infinite number
Then take my hand and lead me into your life For where you are my destiny lies rife Those chains that bound us with dreaded fear Lie broken, for even when you are far you are near
I grasp your soul as if it were my own And it melts within mine for a single throne Where the Universe becomes our kingdom And Shaka Zulu cried the hail of freedom
For I am a part of you as you are part of me Together we would not relinquish to be born free We will not be forsaken as Ares and Aphrodite For our desires are not those of the fallen mighty
Perhaps before the time for us was far too soon For roses always seem to bloom best in June When the piper's lips play that long lost tune And dreams were not dreamt upon a Paper Moon

No one can express their emotions on paper, as well as you do sailor.I have no need to speak words to tell you what you already know.
PS: Good to see you sharing your poems again.

magnificent write from the one and only eclectic Rob, thanks for sharing...
Rob, it's useless to say that the pencil and a piece of paper are precious objects to me. I'm sure for you too. This is a great writing, i always appreciate your work. Thank you for sharing Rob !
Nice poem Rob....seems freestyle yet structured in a nice rhythm at the same time.
