I Have Found Poem by Tricia Whyte

With all the warning signs, I lost control of my flight plans.
I tried hard to pull back, leaned to a safer landing but no;
The essence of your existence in my life
Was stronger than my zeal to remain secluded
There you were gently pulling me into your streams of sensual friendship.
Bracing me for the upcoming nuptials

Here I am, my wings clipped no longer able to fly away.
I paused for the moment, to enjoy the fruits of my past labor.
Hell I earned this, after all the tears, pain and abuse;
Why not stay for a while and immerse my self into a rhythm of your youth.
Yes, ah, you want my friendship it is here for the taking.
You want my sexuality; it is here for the yearning.
You want my heart; it is protected by the past but is here for the saving.

I have never known such pure pleasure,
It hurts, for I know it cannot go any further.
You cannot take me into the depths of love.
Travel along the road with trust as our guide.
Nor can you see the beauty of it all
Stretched across the big open sky
You open the window for me to fly away,
With silent words expressing the way you feel.

You played the song and I listened.
Your heart belongs to another.
That much I have gathered.
I know now I cannot fly away
And I am afraid to stay
Soon you will be joined with your other
And you will become my long lost lover

In moments gone
I have found a real friend.
I have found sensuality.
I have my found solid ground.
I have found heaven on earth.
I have found joy, laughter, and peace;
I have found Life’s Heartache.
