Softer NightsA Poem by Scott Lee
Softer nights to come
Nestled here when light draws dreams- a crescent blade of moon to share with you after a hard African day full of savage rejection and dark lies scattered further than darker law. Softer than snow covered mountains on blue sky mornings when crisp silence glistens holy and webs hold severed tears released by softest streams. What need for money here? What better hour now can u seek? Who holds the key to your heart? Hear them Slyly softest steps A moon beam through a skylight I am Brave enough to join it Keen enough to listen A voice that sets me dreaming No wings like these around I pay tribute to your message More appreciation than she knows. Every day your face appears even though you live below hard stones dropped off long ago. I slept on cold ground before But still prefer her warmth Gone Gone Gone Scattered seeds in tow Wind brushed and born to grow No feelings like this around Kept silent in a nestled space inside a secret scroll No love like this around I Burn to be burned by you Again and again A ferris wheel struck by lightning Going round and round Does it stop? Does anybody ever know? I keep crossing over bridges I meet the slips of pushing days No easy way around you Bleed the pathway filled with thorns, I gaze on distance for an answer Watch light become a face No greater desire than soft fingers caressing down softer cheeks. Lost forever in the distance, a savage summer almost dying. Lost forever in the pulling, spilling, spiralling Inside a shell tossed by endless waves. I still see her in the sand of silence Roaring from inside Soft white silent sand Swept clean and dune hill round by a wind that shapes and scrapes You carry oceans in your spirals, I still listen when I'm down. I like the honesty of toiled sweat It comes soaking through my clothes Night rushing down in a rain Of countless spears Beating words upon this invisible town that taste as pure as yours. Softer nights to come A march of bullets To kill the gun I'm walking further from the exit with No rehearsals that are done I lose myself to silence Softer hues that fill inside I get lost in all directions When your gardens grow this high. My lips are bleeding But I don't care My head is reeling But I don't care My soul is love And that's all that matters now. In you there's a place to live Even if I wake up with dirty wet leaves in my hair Spitting dirt onto stumps that once stood a giant. I still remember the Softer shade you brought to me when the desert nearly killed me You were always there to shield me when the cannon fire tore right through and smashed it all. Softer nights to come I hear the laughter in the cheers When faces light up brighter than the brightest Sun and in friends I find a sweeter home There's still an important message swimming closer to our shores. Be keen enough to listen it wants to be heard by every single one. It skips and plays with colors, it hears our longing cries for answers and Our need for creative completion. It burns inside our heart's If infinity writes a poem Every word is used Gaining crucial information on the experience of our lives Spirit flashes and tumbles into red smiles full of carefree merry go rounds. She tumbles softer into green, she turns inward, her glances reversed, angels speak lush islands to all things, softer nights to come Take me in Let it go See the heart fly Into A high silence streaming, transforming Hardest stones and steel To softer nights to come. © 2015 Scott Lee |
