Devote

Devote
Devoting my life
To an endless smile
Seek
Seeking a way
To smile and disobey

Feel
Feel the wind
As it brushes skin
Smell
Smell the sin
As we all grin

Come to our side and be my friend
Your passion will get you in
If you die on the way
You will only cement your legacy

Hear
Hear a Heart
That beats for you
Love
Love a man
Who does not understand

Grieve
Grieve for me
If you ever leave
Believe
Believe in us
Though I’m not much

Take me with, please don’t say no
What could hurt if I don’t know?
To die alone would be your loss
I am always with you every river we cross

I like the theme and the way you carried the words on this one

 Kathleen

"How do I love thee? Let
me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I've read other poems of yours and I like your work.
In the end is a ?? cry and a plea to take you with them, very heart felt like a child within saying please don’t' go the kind of cry you can't ignore, and to devote yourself to someone no matter what. A love unconditional, very rare.
you have a great heart, in the giving.
Take care.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
