Love Would be the Ransom

A wondering poem of hope

 

I’ve been alone a few days now

Except for with my thoughts of you

They seem to lead me everywhere

Wondering what to do

Are you just a dream to me?

Or will you be coming true?

For now you are a part of me

This heart you’ve got in to

There’s a special place in there

That seldom has been found

And even rarer it would be

That they’d stick around

There is so much I hold inside

For to me it’s all so real

The feelings that stir for this dream of you

My heart this dream would steal

How do I become a part of you?

When I can’t see you here

What will I hold on to?

Is the questioned raised by fear.

And how would I go on from here

Not knowing what you hold inside

For my dream to become reality

From love I pray you would not hide

For love more than a promise

Than words could ever say

For now I don’t just dream at night

You’ve become part of my every day

And dreams that always went away

No longer would be true

And each time I’ll say I’d dream no more

And then my dream found you

And I’d travel a million miles away

Just to feel you in my world

Still what do I hold on to?

Just a dream you’d be my girl?

How would I know that you’ll come true?

For in my heart you hide

How would I know that you are here?

Without you by my side

And how would I move the mountain

To bring you close to me

Without knowing what you’re dreaming of

If your dreams I cannot see

A common path I’ve walked before

To find the love of my life

Carved out of my existence

By times wielding knife

So what do I hold on to?

Just to know that you are here

And how will my world collide with yours

How can I bring you near?

This masquerade you hide behind

A story you leave unclear

For the miles between would build a wall

Between me and what I hold so dear

So how will we find our way to fly?

Past all that stands in our way

How will my dream meet you in your heart?

To find this path that we both say

Nothing could keep true love apart

This be all I know

Would you give your heart to me?

That with my heart would grow

And if I claim this dream no more

For fear that we don’t share

If I turned my head to look away

Would you still be here?

Time the enemy that’s on my side

For it holds my heart at bay

And love would be the ransom

That would bring us to this day
