Inside Song

       April is National Poetry Month. How about that? To honor that, I’ll be posting some unpublished poems that I've written over the last year.
       Virtually every poem I’ve ever penned is either about a woman I love, or about powerful feelings and forces happening inside of me that desperately need to be expressed. Poetry is ultimately a catharsis. Because to be moved to write a poem, something big has to be happening inside. The feelings literally create great internal pressure, and the release of that pressure must be swift and explosive. If writing short pieces, like this one for example, is analogous to a sprinkler watering my lawn, poetry is a fire hose aimed at my house that’s ablaze.

INSIDE SONG


Make your heart
A room for me
Where I can come and sing
A love song to you
My precious one
That will forever ring

Within your heart
My song for you
Resonates throughout your soul
A stirring melody
Of Passion and of Fire
And of adventures to unfold

You’ll hear it now
You’ll it it then
No matter where you are
My love for you
You’ll always feel
Whether I’m near or far

And when you know that song so well
You hear it in your sleep
I will enter you
and sing another one
Loving
Moving
and Deep

And over the years
Within your heart you’ll have
A thousand songs or more
Of my love for you
My precious one
My music to you

.........Forevermore
