Ready For Love Take my hand and lead the way; tell me all you want to say. Whisper softly in my ear, all those things I want to hear. Kiss my lips and touch my skin; bring out passions deep within. Pull me close and hold me near; take away my pain and fear. In the darkness of the night, be my beacon, shine your light. In the brightness of the sun, show me that you are the one. Give me wings so I can fly, for I can soar when you’re nearby. Enter my heart, break down the wall; it’s time for me to watch it fall. I’ve been a prisoner; can’t you see? Break my chains and set me free. Strip me of my armor tight; you’ll find I won’t put up a fight. Release my soul held deep within... I’m ready now, let love begin. ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |

The feeling of this poem sustains and justifies the work. These are the words of a warm heart. I also like the Zelda F. quote. ------------------ William Haskins AKA The Mad Monk http://www.ionstorm.com/public/haskins/inner_sanctum.htm |

Tim, thank you although I must admit, this poem wrote itself. I actually wrote it with pen and paper driving 65 miles an hour down interstate 80 one day...not something I would recomend to any poet, but it came to me and I had no choice. Jocular and Delores....thank you ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |
