Vivid Thoughts Poem by Rik Bertrand

Vivid thoughts, vivid dreams, vivid movements in my mind.

They won't go away, they are persistent, they are real.

They are of you.



I am not being tormented, I am not in Pain, I am relieved,

for you ease my mind in a way that no one else can.

You are my savior, my warrior, my thread of existence.

Without you I am but a withered leaf in the fall of life



Memories of the way things were, tears well up.

Thoughts on how things are now, tears well up.

A life of tragic misgivings, wrong turns, and mistakes,

has not torn me down, for I have you in my heart forever.



Vivid thoughts, vivid dreams, vivid movements of you.

My soul feels your presence, even when you are away.

You are the life; I have given my entire heart to you,

You have kept me alive through the fires of my life.



So vivid you are in my mind, so lively, so necessary.

You are part of my soul; my thoughts of you keep me whole.

I am here because of you, because of your love, your love.

So Vivid, I keep you So Vivid in my mind, so that I may live.
