14 The nearness of you - Norah Jones

Swearing on lasting love


From a Horizon beyond the moments of sincerity

Let’s be Honest and simply say…



I digress



Tearful poetry from fogged windows

Wiping each dew of promise

And holding tightly each droplet

Protecting a smiling wound

I still love you



Fingering the ivory keys

That once stroked our passion

Has muted the sounds of mirth

And the deafening sorrow that follows…

Lingers a quiet joy



As I lay beneath the light you carry

And my dreams are hastily darkened

Embraced is your shadow

Seemingly touching my silhouette

Allow me to caress your soul fearlessly



Somewhere in the distance

You have awakened my still heart



Arouse the memories of reservation

And with each limb of audaciousness

Reach within the simplicity of it all

Tossing all disruptive entities aside

.

.

Gather your riches

And possess it in the moment
