THE KEEPER OF DREAMS

Your darkest deepest thoughts
Be not afraid to give them to me
I am the keeper of the registry
My name is Poetry
Give me all your dreams
The ones that came true
And the ones which never will
I will store them for you
The nightmares that steal your night
In return, I’ll give to you rest
I can store them from your sight
If you remember, you will see
You know me; my name is Poetry
Give me your happiness
Whisper to me of your loneliness
Of your loves that are true
And cry to me of the ones lost
I shall always be here
Never turning a deaf ear to you
Carving your words in stone
With strokes straight and true
Making symbols for eternity
Never leaving you alone
I am never ending Poetry
I will be a vessel for your tears
I will be an echo for your laughter
I will always be there through the years
It is your pen, which infuses my veins
My name is Poetry; I will refine your words
Uncover the desires you seek to reach
In me your thoughts will live forever
In return, I may grace you with peace
