Memoirs from My Heart Pt. 1

SO I WROTE THIS POEM AT AN ORIGINAL MUSIC FESTIVAL AT UW-PARKSIDE WHEN MY BROTHER, RYAN WAS PERFORMING ONE OF HIS PIECES AT THE PIANO. ALL I HAD TO WRITE ON WAS THE BACK OF A RECEIPT SO I WROTE AS HE PLAYED AND THIS IS WHAT CAME OUT...ENJOY :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU TODAY
EVERY NOTE THAT YOU PLAYED
SO AMAZING
YOUR FINGERTIPS AGAINST THE SOUND
IT'S GOT ME CHASING AFTER MY HEARTBEAT
WHILE EMBARKING IN A NEW ERA
THIS TIME
I'LL DISCOVER IT WITH YOUR HAND IN MINE
JUST DON'T STOP PLAYING
DON'T STOP PLAYING
DON'T STOP
DON'T
IT IS TO YOUR DISPOSAL
THAT I OFFER TO YOU
A FRACTION OF MY BEING
HOPEFULLY
IT WILL EQUAL THE AMOUNT
OF LOVE YOU SEND
MY DIRECTION
I'M ENRAPTURED
SET THE TONE, LEVEL THE ALTITUDE
I JUST WANNA JOIN YOU
ON THIS JOURNEY
WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES IN MIDDAY
SIPPING CUPS FULL OF THE SEASONS
CHALLENGING FLAVORS
FOR THE SIMPLE MIND
I LOVE IT WHEN AUTUMN CASCADES THE NIGHT
I DISCOVER LOVE
I PAINT
I PAINTED MY THOUGHTS OF LOVE
FOR YOU
SNAPSHOTS OF MUSIC NOTES
FORMING THE LOVE
OF YOU
JOIN ME ALONG THE MIDNITE GRASS
AND HELP ME SEE THIS LIFE
PASS THE STARS
OH AND ONE MORE THING...
DON'T STOP PLAYING
