For Nikki...
May you always remember that every day should be filled with magic and wonder.Little Girl Lost...
Lie yourself upon the outstretched palm of destiny.
Let yourself be cradled in her safety
And trust that the dips and curves
Are but the journey we travel
And one day, the peaks
Shall lift you to
Happiness.
Little Girl lost
The darkness that fills your days
Is just the night
Before the breaking
Of a brand new day
When the early morning birds
Shall sing your name
And the fields of tulips
That line the mountainsides
With velvet petals
Shall shade your pupils with brilliance
Little Girl lost
Your silent tears
Making their salty fate down your moist cheek
Shall fall
To wash the toxic bitterness
From your heart
And soothe, the gaping wounds
That loneliness
Has clawed upon the surface
And one day, the soft
Warm
Whispered breath
Of love shall,
Wash over you, once again...
Little Girl Lost.
I see the sadness that tugs
Upon the smile that dances upon your lips
And Little Girl Lost
I hear the echoes,
Of a lifetime of heart breaks
Harmonising their cold empty cries
To weigh upon your girlish laughter.
Little Girl Lost
I see the way you see
Yourself through eyes
Slashed with a thousand disappointments.
Through eyes that are clouded by
A hundred thousand moments
Of neglect and long forgotten tenderness
Through eyes that search for failure
Through eyes that search for discontent
Through eyes
That have forgotten
To sparkle and shy away from the midday sun.
Little Girl, Little Girl
Do you not see the beauty
In the way your hair falls
Delicately upon your neck?
... That begs once more... to be brushed aside by the breeze of a breathless kiss
Little Girl, Little Girl
Do you not see the beauty
In the inviting dip
Of the simple curve of your back
... That calls, once again, for the warmth of a softly guiding, loving hand...
Little Girl, Little Girl
Do you not see the beauty
In the soft rosy flush
Of your tear stained cheek
Have you forgotten
The simple touch of a cool loving palm
To wipe the tears that adorn
That mourn ... love lost?
Little Girl, Little Girl
Have you forgotten the beauty
Of the essence of you?
Little Girl.
Little Girl...not lost,
Just waiting to be found.
Lay yourself upon the outstretched palm of destiny
Let her support give you strength
Let her warmth give you hope
Let her quiet whispers hidden in fading moonbeams
Remind you that beauty lies within you
And, for all, who are around you.
And that winds shall wash away, even these worst of times.
And hurt may be pushed over the cliff to the crashing waves below
To make way... once more.
For the Little Girl inside.
Who deserves, above all;
To love
And be loved.
