The Lost Realm

I just thought I’d share with you who might be interested, the poem I wrote Jennifer for Valentine’s day.

Enjoy!

In the dark I dwelt, for years alone
The echo of the cage to haunt me
And memories to chill my bones
Oh how it lingers still, the memory of those days
When with joyous intent, he brought me forth
And sent me on my way
He had no way of knowing of what would come to pass
That the world can be such a cruel place
And the people could be so crass
And when it was over
And all was said and done
I laid torn and broken
And had no choice but run
To the safety of this dark cruel cage
Where naught could find or harm me
And as my master began another page
He had no choice but hide me
And here I’ve dwelt all alone
Safe from harm
But all hope is gone
Until that day I met you
As your light lit up the room
And sparkled from clinging dew
To guide me from the gloom
To greet the morning sunshine
To set me on my path
To leave all hopelessness behind
To find my home at last
For you have turned the tide
And brightened up my home
For you the world begins anew
I feel it in my bones
I’ll shout it from the mountain tops
So all the world can hear
For me the dawn has broken
And I hold you close and dear
I wish for you to listen
To what I have to say
For you have stole my heart
On this Valentine’s Day
