Allowance

Allowed myself 

                           one tiny listen today

          when suddenly, it was three without question

O how you love

                         there is no denying

            joy; power; intensity; will; intention

A boundless

    cyclone

     precense ...             if I may, a chance

Whose shine gets caught up with mine

producing fireworks intense

 

yea, sure, you are in love elsewhere perchance

       But it is I

                    who melted a frosted heart

             It is I

                    who unlocked a prison door

              It is I

                     who saw through the Northman's part

          and it is I

                     who welcomed an exile into a home core

I danced in the rain,

                              yet you just turned at the garden gate instead, so near

who can blame longtime lonesome you?

Only my sorrowful heart, twice weary

                                                 allowed back onto a silent deserted pier
