Tui Goodwin Poems

As I lay still, awake at night,
Your silent figure lies in my sight,
So close yet I feel separated,
It seems our meeting was not fated.
...

As you walked away that starry night
I never though you would never again rest in my sight
As I watched your back as you walked away from me
I didn’t think it would be the last thing of you I would see.
...

We sit together in the grass,
Your face remains a pleasant mask,
I run my hand along your skin,
You smile lightly but don’t let me in.
...

As I stare out across the horizon
The golden red rays of the setting sun
The cool sea breeze caresses my icy cheek
My eyes blur as my heart still seeks
...

As a cold wind eats at my skin
I feel the ice cold hail sting me like pins
But I most keep going, no turning back
Or the fear will come upon me alone on this track
...

a warmth fills my heart
as sweet as a strawberry tart
i cant stop this smile from meeting my lips
from loves golden rays i take huge sips
...

This is sent with my complete honesty
A sent prayer, a wish of modesty
Are you there?
Do you care?
...

Tripping over heals, spinning
Through all of this I feel I’m winning
The rain has cleared, clouds parted
My heart is free, hidden lands charted
...

I walk this road
My feet are bare
I feel no pain
Although glass, scattered everywhere
...

Angels tonight hear me pray
That tonight you will hear my plea and let my daddy stay
I’m told soon you will take him from me
So tonight I pray so you will see
...
