Draw Me In

scottneelan

You intrigue me
Draw me in
Pull me in a new direction
Upward, onward
Into your orbit
The light in your eyes
A golden glow, reflected
The warmth of your smile
Am endless wonder
You speak to me
Wisdom wrapped in riddles
Without words, without sound
Tempting, teasing
With the promise of discovery
Ever I explore
Never lost
Never left behind
Following the path
Set down by your soul

I can’t really say where this one came from. And I don’t mean that in a secretive way. This one just popped into my head in pieces while reading email this morning. Forced its way out of me, it did.

Might’ve

Here I am
Wondering what might’ve been
If I had just
Done it right
At the right time
The right place
The right way
How would it be
To be holding you
In my arms right now
To be sleeping next to you
To wake up to you
To savor every moment
Spent with you
If only…
If only I had taken the chance
If only I knew then
If only I’d acted way back then
When it might’ve mattered

Here’s a relatively new piece, written while feeling dangerously nostalgic and somewhat melancholy. It really could be about any number of people/events in my life, which is rare. Usually the things like this one are much more specific.

Much later edit: gotta call BS on myself here from the future. I know EXACTLY who this is about, I just didn’t want her to know it was about her at the time. I dunno if she reads this or not, or if she’d guess this was about her, so…
