His Composer

by Chelsey   Sep 6, 2012


Tonight, I will be your translator, regardless if I speak clear English
because these emotions surrender unto words that do not make sense.
When once sleep was a necessity, a part of life that gives me rest,
it has now turned into an inconvenience, distracting me from my purpose-
loving you.

I fall short; fail miserably when it comes to telling you how I feel.
The reason being, you are more than what I want, but everything
I cannot have. You think that'd give me wings to fly to you and
nest in your paradise, but it restricts me. Restricts me to branches-
that house my isolation

I am far from you, yet you taunt me with being the closest soul
to my heart. Some say to me, there are windows of opportunities
out there for you. I am afraid to tell them, I only wish to open
the one that channels the summers breeze through your hair.

My love, find me. Whisk me away into a world where I'll be forgotten.
I can no longer dream of you, for I open my eyes and reach for your touch.
I can not handle these nightmares, for I wake up without your comfort.
Thoughts tantalize my mind into thinking, I am someone else.
That this life I'm living was not meant for me, because I belong with you.

There is no hope of touching you, except for this tear embedded poem.
God did not give me these fingers for grazing your cheek before we kiss,
nor for lacing around yours to show signs of security and trust.
My hands were given to me, so I can compose for you-
Declarations of my love

    This is my favorite poem of yours and I can't even tell you why, I've read it aloud a few times and I love it... it does not feel cheesy, but genuine and even though the persona is undergoing something painful, it feels as though she's grateful for loving him nonetheless and that's what makes this love so beautiful.

    Really good poem. Might of tried using a different format but other than that I really liked it. The wording was good. The flow could have been a little better but other than that it is a great poem. 4/5

    I think this is absolutely brilliant Chelsey!!! The heart, soul, emotions in this just flow freely and make me just want to never forget these words....I loved your title so much, it's so enchanting, especially those last words where you ache for your hands to be put to use to compose to this person, to this love. I honestly don't read love poems a lot. I don't know why really. But there was so much depth here, so much I found myself just thinking over, it got me into what you truly are feeling.

    There was also a lot of melancholy here- maybe nostalgia for a love you wish to be? What grabbed in this poem was the way your words flowed.....I could taste that despair you were talking about, how you know this person is far away yet they are still pulling you toward them, and that it's a different kind of torture. So much is included in here- I've never felt so much from a love poem- you really tell more than words here.

    Enjoyed reading so much- keep it up girl!!!!!!! :)
