You possess the very soul of me...
Do you know
You hold me in the palm of your hand?
You have the power
to crush me,
or to cradle me--
To warm me,
or to leave me cold...
You dwell within my waking thoughts.
You frequent my dreams--
My dreams...
I want to see you there.
Will you meet me when i close my eyes?
Somewhere in the misty corners
will you lurk
To ensnare me as i stumble past--
To hold me as you whisper,
"shhh, Dont speak..."
Not now--
the words will wake the moment.
Dont speak.
Dont answer.
Just meet me in the shadows
To take my body as well as my soul--
Or gently please
return my soul to me...
You hold me
in the
palm
of
your
hand...

When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance

This was great ! Often I find my self wondering how other people seem to have so much control over our emotions and feelings, and stand in awe of the power they posess...

oooo this is so romantic and very passionate!
sigh! You are such a good poet. love, ellie
P.S. I love getting you replies, they are so encouraging!

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

starr: the power of possession is a mighty thing aye...  but i guess in truth..we allow ourselves to be possessed..to hand our soul over for the taking..in longing perhaps..in hopes..waiting for dreams to happen..and wanting to help them along...its human!  

eL:  thank you so much!..and i didnt realize my responses were helpful ..nice to know that they are  

tricks: shh..dont tell him about the roller
coaster rides--he might not come back!!  lol  thanks for reading  

jamie: empowerment...hmm..yeah, i suppose youre right--a hope of regaining my own soul..my own self..well, unless, he who holds it treats it right..and then he can keep it     

thanks for all replies friends
