For Him
The voice in your silence gently speaks to me,
The warmth of your touch comforts me.
The rhythm of your heartbeat settles me,
The colour of your sight illuminates me.
The words calmly roll off your tongue,
Everytime in my dreams they make me run.
For once put away your bullets and guns,
With all this misery - I'm done.
The summer of your laughter can light a day,
The spring in your joy can guide a way.
The autumn days only beg to stay,
The winter in your sadness makes my heart break.
For all the times I weeped,
For all the memories I keeped.
Your eyes took the pain away,
Now I hide from them each day.
For all the emotions you take,
Please bury them in the lake.
The one with the blue tree,
The one only I can see.
