Sunshine

Now my pains have no place to play And nothing left for them to do

Rebecca 

 

You consoled my worn soul

 lifting me to my feet

A noble heart of kindness

dealt Purgatory defeat

I found the nightmares fading

 as the new thoughts took their place

Washing out the poison 

that so long had filled that space

 

That smile faded my sadness

 with sweet thoughts I had of you

As pains found no place to play

and nothing for them to do

 

Author's Note

Her spark for life lit the fire in my mind.

I can so relate to that line. "Pain has no place to play." Absolutely beautiful. You wife must be very flattered.

PS: I love the Bee Gees. One of my favourite tracks ever is I started a joke.

i do too . They have the heart and soul. Together they depict its inner workings

It is so wonderful when we encounter someone such as this who inspire us and lift us out of whatever doldrums had us captured. Well said Tate.

[Tate Morgan]

isnt it though. So often in my life I had to be the spark that made a relationship work. But with Becky I just sit round her fire to soak in the warmth

Such simple, romantic, enjoyable poetry should never fade from the face of the earth. Thank you for providing examples again and again, of the joy poetry can bring.

Hi Doc You are always a welcome site. I always say dont over think poetry keep it simple and it will speak for itself

"As pains found no place to play..." I like this concept, Tate. The right person chases every demon away, leaving only... sunshine. A lovely tribute to the love of your life!

[Tate Morgan]

i agree somehow what seemed so painful felt almost insignificant after meeting her

[Tate Morgan]
