When Lightning Plays On the Keys of Your Sorrow

Forgive me when lightning plays on the keys of your sorrow
and there is no time for everything you say
 to be laid here at my feet.
Still, know that I am here when your inner light
of wisdom catches dust on the frame of your heartbeat
and I will listen through your tears.

On those days when life feels like a flying bird,
do not feel sorry for reaching out
to enlightenment as your lover, please know,
that I understand your need.

There are miles of bedlam that I would love to turn into flowers
on those nights when your sea tumbles restlessly
 and those dragons of madness make you burn
the sticks of your destiny.
 Instead, I will hold you in my heart
so that you can hear it beat for you,
a breath apart and still the same.
We will drown our souls together
in our own tranquility.

When you hear the call of honor weeping to the heavens above
while leaves of scorn fall upon your head,
 I will stand beside you
 help you roll away
what stands in front of you.

 Let me be the force that drives you from the shadows
of all heartache,
 when lightning plays on the keys
 of your sorrow.  Even though sometimes
there is no time for everything you say
 to be laid here at my feet,
always know that my feet still remain here,
 next to you.

This show strong devotion and the willingness to make a relationship work for there is a strong love at play. The last stanza is so beautiful and sincere. Relationships aren't always easy but if people truly love each other they will stand together and work on the issues. Great thought provoking poem.

[Audrey Howitt]

I loved this poem from your opening line. Tender, strong full of emotional context. Loved it!

[Tate Morgan]

This is a deeper side to you that searches words that I FIND KIND LIKE SORROW, SHADOWS, TUMBLES i Think this is much more of a soul searching piece.I like the way it kindly meanders around your mind and rearranges the furniture

Your work is truly breathtaking. Took my breath away from the first line, lightning playing with the keys of sorrow. Imagery at its best!

I feel like I've been ravished by a thesaurus. A very pleasant experience indeed. So many overlapping images, ideas, themes, my head is spinning. I really don't know where to start, but whoever it's about is very luck indeed to have generated such passion and trust. There are no real comparrisons to your work, and you do what a writer should. You open your soul and let people inspect it. Wonderful. Glad I didn't leave it till end of shift, but I'll read it then for fun.

"Let me be the force that drives you from the shadows
of all heartache,
when lightning plays on the keys
of your sorrow. "
