My Light

When my love comes to see me

It’s just a little like music

Against the silent darkness of my

Always idiot heart

When she speakes, it is like

A gentle breeze of wind chimes to my ears

But also like a blinding light shining through

The darkness of my world

The way my love flies through my soul and climbs up

Through the rockiness of my past there is nothing

More to say than “I love you”

And I wish you would love me

Like a beautiful day

where the eternal summer shall not fade

until the time to go home,

back to the darkness

Where you are the only light
