YOU
You
Were
Beautifully insistent
Eyes
Sparkling Irish
Eyes
Staring at
Me
Out over a
Microphone
Saying
You
Wanted
Me
In your life
When I didn't think
Anyone
Would want
Me
Again.
|
You
Were
Coming up to
Me
When I thought
No one would
Or should
And telling your folks
And telling your friends
All about
Me.
|
You
Were
Musical talent
Beyond musical talent
Your sounds
Entrancing
Me.
|
You
Were
All eyes on
Me
When all eyes
Were on
You.
|
You
Were
Genius-level I.Q.
With a mind
That knew
And saw
Me
Before
I
Knew
And saw
Me.
|
You
Were
Coincidences and
Serendipities
Like nobody's business
Making me know
There is a
God.
|
You
Were
A bright hot
Flame
That made me gasp
In your presence
And kept
My hope
Alive.
|
You
Were
Spiritualized love
As ancient as
The Greeks and
The Romans
But completely
New to
Me.
|
You
Were
The bright star
The star of Bethlehem
That guided
Me
Out of the
Wilderness.
|
You
Were
The soul
That rubbed with
Mine
And fixed
Everything
That needed
Fixing.
|
You
Were
The sun
The moon
The stars
The cosmos
The heavens
The force that drove
Me.
|
You
Were
The hot
Molten
Butter
At the center
Of my
Universe.
|
You
Were
The gush
Of tears
As years
Of pain
Of isolation
Of sadness
Of confusion
Left my
Body
When I wrote
My first
Song
Which was
About
You.
|
You
Are
The reason
I am a poet
A lyricist
A painter
A man who can live
A man who can feel
A man who can
Love.
|
You
Are
Indescribable
Except through
Poetry.
|
You
Were
So much to
Me
That I know
There is
No way
Absolutely no way
Absolutely no way under the sun
If I live to be a million years old
That I can ever
Repay
You.
