Odd Magic
It was the pain that brought the magic,
i know it must sound queer.
It may even seem to be very tragic,
but there's no need to fear.
Then the magic brought the solitude,
solitude built the walls.
In a land where no one may intrude,
darkness never falls.
It was the magic that brought the storms,
blowing with gale force.
Flitting on the edge without form,
never felt remorse.
Loneliness brought on scathing clarity,
painful new insight.
Thoughts full of seeming disparity,
haunt my dreams at night.
Then the magic brought you to me,
i can feel it in my heart.
The loneliness and solitude i once felt,
is filled with loving light.
Through the trials and the tears,
you hold me near, and calm my fears.
Though we argue and we fight,
you still love me, and it's all right.
Now i know, now i see, the magic
made me who i am supposed to be.
So here's to you dear, and what we have.
I'll always be here until the last.

Post a Comment"Then the magic brought the solitude,
solitude built the walls." I had to stop and re-read this line. I just love it!
I had to read it again. This is deep. I like it.

Nice poem Dave... thanks
Beautiful indeed. Interesting sequence and circle!
Beautiful. You have to realize what you don't have in order to appreciate what you do have.
