I Believe In You
I search for quotes and author's
Who inspire me in life,
I pick up pens and pencils
As I pull out chairs too write,
I looked for hidden meaning's
And word's they wrote too guide,
They showed me where to look
But not that meaning's lay inside,
Those people and those places
Both writers big and small,
All found their inspiration
Out of love or lack of all,
I searched the book's and page's
I typed alone and sad,
Many shared my interest
But mine just drove me mad,
Those page's that I ripped out
Soon towered what I'd save,
For how can one write freely
When your trapped inside a cage?
And then it clicked inside me
As I looked upon my work,
The piece that I was missing
Was a piece too share my hurt,
I spent my days of searching
Picking flies out of the ointment,
The only thing we shared in
Was collective disappointment,
I turned another brand-new page
And pressed it with my hand,
Removing all those creases
As I penned my final stand,
Around this time I found you
And I'm lucky that I did,
The poem's I tried to figure out
Now lept out from their ink,
I saw in you the subtle ways
A poet finds his muse,
I saw in you the artist's brush
And why he paints his views,
I saw in you the bard
And all the ways he struck a chord,
I saw in you the wrath of kings
and why he fought his war's,
For both the good and evil
Share the same internal trait,
Those good will tell you freely
While those evil may refrain,
Since the time our lives began
We search for someone who,
Will tell us all with purest love..
