Thoughts & Emotions Poem by Darryn John Murphy

I have loved and been hurt by love
I have seen joy and yet there is pain
I have breathed and yet i am breathless
In your presence
Consumed by your beauty the essence of love

I have walked a thousand miles in my shoes
On a road which never ends
Through the driving rains many tears have fallen
Swept up in the passage of time

My heart will linger in the moonlight
As i breathe the ocean breeze tonight
For on the horizon there is a new day
A story still left untold

For the dreamer dreams of hope
And a lover feels with their heart
So why is it human nature
For us to tear ourselves apart
