Vacant Rooms



There’s part of me where want abides
a niche, a cove, a place to hide
where conscience thought may not be pure
as lover’s blush my hands secure

I made a plan but then fell short
this fantasy, my last resort
to add a room for you beside
the place in me where dreams reside

Forever I would be content
if only I could but lament
the hopes I held in soft repose
were merely thorns and not the rose

I journey on as God has willed
with vacant rooms He’s yet to fill
the emptiness has found a home
a place where I must dream alone

    I have a guest room in my house where you could stay and never be alone. There is always noise here, even if it's just the click of the keys on the computer. You are never alone Leo and God knows your heart. Be patient still and all your dreams will be fulfilled.

    This poem is sad and I have felt these feelings at a time in my life. Your poetry is always so very lyrical. There is a song written in these lines. Somber but very beautiful!


    Always ♥

    Forever the lyrical writer ...

    your laments turn to songs of beauty. May He Himself fill all your vacant rooms so that you never may feel alone again.


    Love

    A poem after my own ...

    heart and well expressed! We can never know what fate has is store for us and while emptiness fills the space be sure to keep those doors and windows wide open and let those dreams seek the light that shines in ever so minutely! *hugs* j y

    Well hey!! I have a room you can have until you find what you are looking for! There is and will always be room in my heart for you! Shoot Leo, you moved in there about four years ago. I can't imagine you not being there. I guess we've both been feeling a little sad huh? gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
