Daisy Hannah GallagherLeigh Poems

I like the quiet places, the silent places -
places inside my head.
Places where I can run and hide
in the moments when I feel afraid.
...

You placed your hand in my heart -
what were you thinking when love took hold?
It couldn't last forever, but you gave me hope;
You took away mortality and gave me
...

I am hungry for your love...
the nature of love's call and
...

I leave a candle burning in the window
to guide you safely home each night.
I clear a path for you to find your way,
and each night I keep watch and hold hope.
...

If I go one day without you,
Will I survive the hours
and the chiming of the clock?
If you leave me, and don't look back,
...

Why do you kill the night
with too much song?
Too many nights have passed
in silent lullabies...
...

Bless me with light, that I may see your face.
Shine your radiance upon me.
Let me feel the spark of love once graced...
...

When I was a child, I dreamed,
and dreams were that I became a man
and all my dreams and dreamings
disappeared, until you came into my life.
...

A vigil of sorrow takes place
looking out from my window
into a world somehow changed.
...

You are the tenderness 
that inspires me to write
of music and poetry -
and of love, and of life.
...
