Where My Heart Has Always Been

There are words I never needed,
You could read them in my eyes.

I found your name in orbit dust
Written on the edge of dusk
Your hand was warm in my glove

Since Day One

Until the Future Becomes the Now
...

Upon bended knee

I stand All Amazed,
...

Tiz wonderings' thought
that brings me here...
to where footsteps' past
have left their imprint
...

Verse 1
I went looking for an ending,
found a doorway instead,
one forgotten little heartbeat
...

[Verse 1]
Come, love,
upon evening's steps,
Where starlight knows my name.
...

Tiz wonderings' thought
that brings me here...
to where footsteps' past
have left their imprint
...

Upon bended knee

I stand All Amazed,
...

Never thoughts'
Enter my
soul
Why's questioned
...

Never thoughts'
Enter my
soul
Why's questioned
...

[Verse 1]
There I was, creation flowing,
Pictures dancing to the beat,
Ancestors lined the golden hallway,
...

On the Phone with Corporate
[Verse 1]
Black shirt, black pants, another DG day,
Seventeen years or so—

Edith Niemeyer Biography

Just enjoy putting my thoughts penned upon paper. Author's Note Some poems are written in a day. Others are written by time itself. 'Eternal Round' began in 2006 and slowly found its voice over the next twenty years. The words remained, but life taught them their meaning.What a journey)

Love You Laters' Bye

[Verse 1]

Some people say goodbye
like goodbye means going away,
but you and I found better words
for things the heart can't say.

Four little letters wandered in,
and somehow they became
a language only we could know,
a love without a name.

[Pre-Chorus]

For goodbye sounds much too final,
and forever's much too far—
so I'll meet you somewhere later,
wherever later's are.

[Chorus]

L-Y-L-B...
Love you laters', bye.
To the moon and then beyond it,
past the borders of the sky.

No goodbye can close a doorway
when love knows the reason why.

L-Y-L-B...
Love you laters', bye.

[Verse 2]

January twenty-first came 'round
and brought me something new—
an old familiar date in time
now carried on by you.

A day already written
found another page somehow;
yesterday reached forward
and placed its hand upon the now.

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe dates remember
more than calendars can show,
little threads connecting us
to everywhere we go.

[Chorus]

L-Y-L-B...
Love you laters', bye.
To the moon and then beyond it,
past the borders of the sky.

If tomorrow takes the long way,
love will always know the why.

L-Y-L-B...
Love you laters', bye.

[Bridge]

And someday you'll be older,
with a thousand roads behind,
and perhaps four little letters
will come wandering through your mind.

You'll remember they meant laughter,
they meant I'm still here nearby,
they meant—

I love you more than leaving.

So we never said goodbye.

[Final Chorus]

L-Y-L-B...
Love you laters', bye.

To the moon—
and far beyond it,
where no measuring can try.

From the ones who came before us
to the ones who carry on,

love keeps finding little ways
to say we're never truly gone.

L-Y-L-B...

Four letters,
you and I.

Love you, Gabe.

Love you laters'...

Bye. ❤️
