A Raging Moon And A Howling Wind Poem by Laquory Jones

Verse 1
I look within your eyes every now and then
Under a raging moon and a howling wind
Looking beyond the stars
As I sit by the window feeling the crescendo
Mumbling 'Nothing could ever be as simple'
While the world was in desperate need of
A change in tempo
Gripping the pens within the hallow temples
Of poetry wondering if any of my poems
Are even worth remembering
Witnessing the fall of a lost art
I take in a deep breath and try again to
Revitalize its spark believing that one day that
Many would follow yet knowing that at times
We would falter but as poets we have the power
To alter and make what was once lost truly
Great it hurts seeing poetry in her state
As of late what was once a means for escape
some are desperately trying to take away
If you ever get the chance to know her
I just hope that you would do it with grace
Find that space within your heart
Because that's where everything starts

Chorus:
Your love is everything to me
You've taught me what it means to
Be free you've help me to see
All the things that I could achieve
If only I believe
It honestly feels as if
You're just what I need

Verse 2
The saying tends to go that
'We only have four seconds to captivate the world'
A lifetime to build relationships that truly lasts
And split seconds to see all of it crash
I've seen the world's greatest works of arts
Turn to ash & heartbreaks upon the ceiling glass
What's fake from the real?
Every line nowadays seems to blur
As the rawness of emotions
Makes the feelings of them much worse
Watching everyone seem to only disperse
I remember the way you use to look at me
Like I was your hero and you were mine
Watching our destinies intertwine
Your smile that would shine oh what a time
I can still feel your heart pumping with life
Oh what a sight while watching
Lost relationships coming back to life

Bridge:
In life we go through phrases of time
Sometimes hoping to hit the reset or
The rewind and live the moments
That shaped us up to what we were
Or what we are
When I look at you I look at reflections
Of me back in the days of our youth
Missing the things that we once use to
Do just speaking my truth
Although life remains uncertain
Not too many are peeling back curtains
Although to err is human
I find the air in here quite humid

Verse 3
When it comes to your love I'm an alcoholic
I leave it all within the tip of a pen
Letting all emotions and passion flow freely
Therein until it hits the pigments of skins
Or the pages that you flip so silently
Just know that every word that you read
Are just parts of me that I hope that
You could see just know what you really
Mean to me and always will be
True friends are what we always were
From the start from the moment
I expressed my love through poetry and
Her art ignited a spark and became your
Light within your darkness
Showing you that Richie still has
A heart yet, A true definition of an artist

Chorus:
Your love is everything to me
You've taught me what it means to
Be free you've help me to see
All the things that I could achieve
If only I believe
It honestly feels as if
You're just what I need
