Life doesn’t run a clear course …

It flows through from within

It’s supposed to take you places and leave markings on your skin…

And those marks are just a sign of something true …

And when the sounds of laughter still echo in your dreams

The smoke screen disappears and nothing is what it seems

And your tears have been worthwhile

They got you through to a different place and time where all is new

To the start of something fine …

And your moments of clarity scream the hell within

When you fade like a rose in the gloom love waits outside your room …

– Poets of the fall – Love will come to you

– Poets of the fall – Love will come to you

Ph : Daniel Murtagh

The time will come

when, with elation

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door, in your own mirror

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.
