Neon Valley Dreams by Jemar Souza

I heard your song;
It reached my heart.

My ears,
Lost -
Lost in your melody.

Every note,
Every chord,
Every sound of the beat -

Everything arranged -
So sweet to me.

Your voice voids all noise -

Only the sound of my own heart
Can distract me from yours.

I am yours.

So closer to you,
I must be.

Hands empty.
But soul touched by you.

I wanted to be -

No,
I had to be -
By you, as you

Orchestrated the masterpiece
That mastered me.

Sadness to happy,
Gloom doomed to bloom into

Instead hope…
Of something better -

Sunny weather…
on Neon Valley Street.
