Words You Owe Me

WORDS YOU OWE ME

Words you owe me my life
My freedom my sleepless nights
& you owe me my dreams as I whisper in the night
Underneath the stars, that have fallen I make a wish
Following that star skimming across my firmament
Puff! Like a gossamer extinguishing before my eyes
Wishing on that star fallen from my skies,
As I gaze into my mirrored glass;
& the face that I see in the mirror don't think that's me
But the face of a stranger staring back at me
Those shadows beneath my door
Why should they be there!
O' shadows depart from my door!
For you've no business there.
Perambulating before me
Crossing, the visions of my mind
Have been blind!
Mile upon mile just to see you
Gaze upon you & smile into your eyes
The touches between us,
& the distances that separate you & I
It's like a rebirth of dreams as in a dream land
Soft so soft as I tenderly whisper your name!
The words the letters that I owe you in their entirety;
Words, you owe me my vision my lucidity my poetry!
Mais Je n veux pas le melancolie!!
