LOST AND FORGOTTEN

I've heard you speak 
My soul you've captured 
Echoing words 
My ear has never heard before 

Your magnetic field 
Of fables and tales
Laying siege to my heart 
And  mind 

I was overcome by the thought
Of being in your presence 
In a world 
Both human and Devine 

You gestured to me
Come sit in our midst 
Bathe your mind 
In our literally pool 

But what was I thinking 
To open my mouth
In a sorority 
That deemed me 
As a fool 

I've poured out my heart 
From the very start 
Like the heavens release of rain

But after singing your songs 
And cheering you on 
You never
Mentioned my name.
