It's All About You
A Lyrical Vibe
As it has been four months (to the day, actually) since I dropped a poetic piece, I figured now would be as good a time as any. And since most of my poetry has a darker edge, and since I seldom post anything ‘sappy?’
Well, here you go. From 2008…
It’s All About You
Facing all the trials… the fear and the doubt,
despite all the error… my life’s been about,
I know I have found… what I’ve wanted so long,
a place to call home… safe and secure…
where I know I belong.
It’s all about you… and it always has been,
since the very first moment you arrived
though I didn’t realize it then.
Through mistakes that I’ve made -
by the pride of a fool,
I now understand
with all of my heart that
it’s all about you.
With laughter and tears… the battles we’ll wage,
insecurity’s storms… will hammer with rage,
But in you I have found… a truer picture of me,
Loyal and strong… unbreakable and solid…
what I’m driven to be.
It’s all about you… and it’ll always be so,
discovering the nature of your heart
has finally… let me know.
Through the heartaches we’ve shared,
and the hope we renew,
I now understand
with every breath I take
it’s all about you.

Notes
-- As anytime I post a work like this people will ask, I shall answer up-front: No, this is not written about any specific someone, but it is instead more of a vibe-in-the-moment captured.

That is very sweet. Well it may not be for any particular someone for you, I could not read it and not think of my particular someone. Grateful to have been partners with her for so long, and have so much to look forward to.
I love your poems and stories. thank you. What a refreshing thing to see/read.
