On Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2008
I am here for your pleasure
I came here to do
things no other could or would do
With nothing to lose but my life
I came here to give you hope
and freedom from strife
and with words I now blaze a path
that’s lined with triumphs
and banners of freedoms to come and amaze
I never knew I would meet you,
nor hoped to win your fine fair heart
For I came alone with heavy heart
I’d thought been turned to stone
How thankful I am
that you showed me I was wrong
and gave me the strength of inspiration
that’s greater than just being strong
Now you’re just over the hill
and nestled in the valley of dreams
I count you among the stars to come
and plan for your arrival
among true friends full of understanding
Things grow from words you know
It is the language of thinking men and women
Many come to know me now
They chase my thoughts across white fields
of truth, hope and beauty
and this is but the flurry before the storm
That storm is coming now
Soon it will be here
Angry and afraid
Then we will need your bright free fiery spirit
armed with melody and message to melt the toughest heart
Oh yes! We’ll be sore pressed
without the power of your tones
Forget the battles of old that passed between us
and only learn the lessons for they were fought to teach us
how to play the game you always knew you should win
Now Liberty’s sister Victory holds her banner high
Furled it is, but ready to stream across the sky
The one that reminds me of the beauty in your eyes
I am here
I know how to put an end to fear and fury
I would not say it, were it not true
For I cannot lie to you of past, present or futures
that present the possibilities of choice for you to grasp
There are miracles on offer
I swear upon my honor
though they be for everyone
They’re especially for you
I came here for your pleasure
No matter the cost
All is never lost
For you always have the freedom to choose
the consequences of your decision
I am here
an open book of dedication
despite mistakes that would have broken lesser men
I write them away
I right them with my pen of action
and the keys that tap technology
more powerful than any sword
Words of reason for the Age that comes full season
Words of passion to fire a soul
mend it, make it whole
Words that’ll span an age
as only timeless truths can do
Words written for you
To tell you this heart
still yearns
for you.
On Valentine’s Day
