(Two short compositions for a love that never was)
"Beautiful Pain"
My Stains/ They wash away/ Every time I close my eyes/ Enter the rain/ The sweetest thing/ I've ever known/ Comes down all around me/ Sinks into my bones
If I've never said it, I will say it now
I've always loved you, and I always will
As I grow older, my soul will never change
My heart beats softly for you, Beautiful Pain
My eyes/ see into you/ Gently I lay you down/ In clouds of blue/ Reveal the truth/ Look into me/ Drown all my fears/ In ecstasy
And if here, I should remain
I would give my life
To breathe you in again
Your touch/ Makes me complete/ Another year goes by/ In agony/ If I could be/ A part of you/ Would it give to me/ A life renewed.
If I've never said it, I will say it now
I've always loved you, and I always will
As I grow older, my soul will never change
My heart beats softly for you, Beautiful Pain
And if here, I should remain
I would give my life
To breathe you in again
And nothing lasts forever
But with you I'm satisfied.
"Little Daggers"
And she came into my life
Like daggers to the heart
Deadly and beautiful
My sunshine, my rain
My comfort, my pain
Like daggers
My everything.

Very moving, Daniel.
ReplyDeleteNice poetry reads.
ReplyDeleteI liked the poems.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought after I read it was, "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Maroon 5.
It's a song.
I'll go over the lyrics again. I could be wrong in thinking that the song and your poems have something in common.

Absolutely beautiful. Poetry touches me. This song brought tears to my eyes, and we don't even have a tune.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is beautiful and moving! Your words speak volumes...keep writing, your mind is trying to reveal the sunshine of your soul!
ReplyDeleteA RESPONSE TO ALL FROM DAN:
ReplyDeleteIn the May post "Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself" I stated that my life is filled with contradiction. For many of you this post was passionate and beautiful, if somewhat emotionally tumultuous. I poured my heart into it and while this is the case with anything I write, sometimes the content is darker, reflecting a variety of moods. I explore the depths of the sould through my work. My only hope is that no one will judge harshly if I pour out anger, desire or apathy. Even in darkness lies beauty, in pain...inspiration. Bare with me if every song, poem or other writing isn't as pretty or "popular" as this one.
