Sonnet II

source Monotonous distractions of the day, Can barely ebb the pain within, my heart; So broken, battered, beaten, torn apart; Still knows somehow there's got to be a way. So many things I wish that I could say, About the love that we've held from the start. Oh! How this evil like a poison dart, Has taken from us all for which we pray. I know not how to reach you now, my love, To show you just how much there is to see. As sleepless evening falls your soul draws near; Mine longs to touch it gentle as a dove, With hope that I've locked deep inside of me, The moment days' distractions disappear. —Michele Cameron Drew Copyright ©2009 Michele Cameron Drew.

In an Hour of Darkness

source In an hour of darkness, Held hostage in the past, A victim of my very soul, Places I could never take you, Came rushing back to haunt me, And left darkness in the road. I knew that someday, I would be returning, To face that darkness once again. But I was not alone this time, For you felt my teardrops, As they whispered on the wind. You listened to my heart, And like a beacon in the dark, You were the torch that lit the way. Then you led me through your eyes, To places I could never find, And released me from the pain. Those once haunting ghosts, That were pulling me so close, Are now vanquished from the night. And as the darkness folds, I have come back home, And can finally see the light. And in the light of day, I still can see your face, But everything's anew. As beyond the night we grow, I hope you'll always know, How much.. is thanks to you. —Michele Cameron Drew Copyright ©2009 Michele Cameron Drew. All Rights Reserved.
