She’d locked her door to her tower
And thrown away the key,
Sheltering from the pain inside
Pushing away those who’d see her free.
Until she discovered a world where she may belong!
She discovered a loving kindred spirit
Only he is living in her past,
Together with a wish to be in his arms
For a dance or two at last.
For the pleasure of a simple kiss she’ll stand strong!
She lives patiently in his future
Knowing it’s for his love she waits,
Eventually her past will catch her
Regardless of how long it takes.
When she wishes for forever, she knows he’ll understand!
She doesn’t care if she gets lost in her past
Knowing time is precious, not to be taken lightly,
So Darling will you dance these songs with me
While wrapping me in your arms and holding tightly?
When the past and the future collides, she’ll find her loving man!

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
