Which Way To Paradise?
There's a heavy heart full of sorrow and lead,
Burning with loss and filling nights with dread,
Because the dreams come in darkness all alone,
Scented cloth clutched in agonized memory,
Loss, loss, visions and hopes dashed,
Too hurtful to try again?
The stars whisper dark secrets against your name.
Seeing, red-hazed unbelieving,
The perfect angel turned devil and flown away,
Hot burning tears in a night after night all alone,
Years wasted and youth has left me,
Which way does a broken heart go?
I'd thought a soul mate could your eyes contain.
An angel whispers to me upon the computer screen,
A sweet voice that seems a teasing dream,
I'd sought some forlorn relief,
Some rescue for my burning soul,
Because I couldn't save myself from losing control.
A maybe showing light under a darkened door?
Romantic moments come fearfully,
Haunted eyes afraid to see,
Sweet voice and soft arms,
My heart longs there to go,
A life of love for me to know?
I'd thought all my chances vanished in your amber eyes.
Working through the damage,
Pulling up by bootstraps of torn leather,
Before I put an end to searching,
And give up on forever,
I'd thought I'd never see, no never.
Tentative wishes shaped my last hopeful breaths.
A Christmas date given chance,
A simple loving gift,
A stone that says "believe",
A chance for something left,
Sweet eyes wondering upon angels rest.
Angel.
I'm so glad I chose the light,
Found some loving that was left,
Without you I'd be in the dark,
Crying damned soul wandering yet,
Now I'm home and will never forget.
How you granted me life and love at the emotional crossroads of the soul.

FME. I lived through this poem at some
dark, point in my life. There's someone I
have to thank for that. Every day.
