This Is Me This Is Why

This Is Me This Is Why

A Poem by Dark Tower

This Is Me This Is Why


In the garden of heaven

There sits a rose

And every thousand years a wind blows

And breaks a single petal from the stem

The petal drops below the clouds

And slowly descends


When it touches earth

Beauty take root

And an angel emerges

Twenty years ago a seed was planted

Like my heart was wishing for purpose

And that wish was granted


If God created us in his image

I'd like to know who made you

Because your beauty is like nothing man has ever seen walking

The kind of woman even angels are talking

God created the universe in snap of his finger

But he took eons to make you

For your eyes

He took two stars


I'm frozen inside a moment

Caressing your heart

Praying to God that one day

I can own it

A Sweetness

That I can taste in my soul

The other half of my soul


There are things you must know about me

I'm not perfect

Not even remotely

I'm stubborrn and proud

I don't hesitate to lash out at any who provoke me

My public image

Is more like a potrait of confusion and lies

They say that eye are the window to the soul

Well then mine must be pain stained glass

Running through with cracks

Tears well up as I look back

Decisions I've made

I could be in an office

I could be getting paid

But I gave up everything

For a dream I wanted to chase

That' why my pen touches paper every single day


When your arms go around me

I feel

As if I'm flying

Your kiss makes me feel

Like every moment before that I was dying

When you leave the room

I fall to my knees and start crying

I'm afraid of the day

When you'll realise what an angel you are

And fly away

I'll be standing next to the window

Understanding his pane

I'll find myself once again in that position

Getting shot in the heart

By somebody with whom I'm smittten

It's like my life is sad song stuck on repeat

With no ups just downs and poorly written


I love my dream

And I've sacrificed so much for it

Discarded oppurtunities

None of this I regret

It's been one crazy ride

Seen and done much I will never forget

My verbal content

Contains subject matter

That tends to confuse

And batter

For those who lack mental fortitude

I come across as hostile

Vulgar and rude

It takes a hell of a mind

To undertands what's going through mine

But I hope in time

That you will find

There's a lot of love for you in each line


Failure to communicate my feelings

Has been my problem for the longest I guess

But I find that sometime silence is revealing

I'm a mess

One day I'll probably break down

And won't be able to be the shoulder you lean on

For me would you be able to be strong?

If I lost my eyes

Would you be the one who guides me along?


Take my hand

Look in me in the eyes

I really want you to understand

This is why

I love you

They you make me feel

Is nothing less than magnificient

You bring me my lost smiles

And clear the shadow from my eyes

You're the cure for a pain

You didn't know was there

Rest your head on my chest

And listen to my heart beat your name

It's insane

How you can make me feel


I am more than what I seem

I'm your soul mate disguising himself as your best friend

Hidding in plain sight

If you were mine

You have no idea just how much of myself I would give to you

I'd be there for you a second before you needed me

If you felt cold

I'd be the blanket

That kept you warm

I'd be your shield

If an intruder should call

I'd be the sword you'd weild

I'd give my lifes blood for you

Just to show you how genuinely I adore you.

Powerful and good words my friend.
" I'd be your shield
If an intruder should call
I'd be the sword you'd weild
I'd give my lifes blood for you
Just to show you how genuinely I adore you."
I like the complete poem and the above lines stood out for me. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
