Once in the middle of the night exists
A perfect idle thought, all ideas ceased
What will new-found love feel like
Will it erase memories and change psyche?
Of all towering dreams, you are the one soaring
I find you hard to forget, I find it amusing
The evidence seen of young and reckless love ashore
Caught deep in romance, deep in madness and more
Ecstasy, file sorrows underneath, in store
Hide everything in an endless battle in score
Because when battle rise and peace is once was
There I'll be, searching for my hidden canvasYes, love found and love tried is great
But love lost and love judged, all but bait
What could have happened if only I could wait
Should it be better? Regret now counting the date
Up and over the grassy hills of our heads
Leaves us breathless until roses are reds
Flying colors of rainbows coat our eyes
How we look into them and see glimmers arise
Now that love is here, I hope it stays the same
I pray, over and over, that this is not a game
Because now that we walked barefoot on the grass
That's when I'll look for my hidden canvasOnce in the middle of the night, I awoke
Beheld you gaze, waiting for happiness stroke
But then, when I wake fully, I couldn't find you
I look up and above, you vanished into the blue
And here we are, the lost city of pain
When cloudless skies fill the absolute rain
The evidence seen, lost and played heart suffice
I learned that love is ever-changing and requires sacrifice
Of all hidden games we play each day
I wonder which you have enjoyed most, what do you say?
Because when midnights arise and I finish the stanzas
I will get up and search for my hidden canvasThe pain ends but the memories linger
Will it last long? Will I remember you forever?
I hope not because with you it's not just melancholy
Times spent together, remember happy moments in memory
And now I'm here, chasing the butterflies away
I find art, every color I paint in pattern's sway
The fleeting lights of rainbows unseen
Each drifting across pages, some standing still
Moving on shouldn't be that hard, though pain is deep
For when you look hard enough, it will rouse you from sleep
Because when I learned to deal with pain and be brass
Then, and only then, did I find my hidden canvasThey say that art only comes from the deepest pain. Well, this poem is a testament to that. I remember drawing from that saying and composing an entire poem about it. I suppose pain and art never really stayed separate.
How ironic that this was written four days after Valentine's day in the year 2018. Lol.
