Exchange of words is only the beginning of the trade. I confess that I am frightened by the connection the we've made. My life exposed to you, I search for a place to hide. More so then I intended my heart is open wide. Daily fighting demons, battling for my soul, struggling with the throng of thieves, who keep me less than whole. Can I give you what you ask for? Can you give me what I need? Will I give in to my longing or the cautions will I heed? Is the fear inside me greater than the driving force I feel? Can the tears begin to cleanse the wounds and prompt my soul to heal? You make me want to trust again, my heart for you for you to know and yet I hold back, daring not to love, to share, to grow. I beg of you, be gentle as we venture through this part, I'm drawing on my final hope to share with you my heart. |

Destiny this is PERFECT!!! a very beautiful poem. the rhyme flow is smooth and the expressions of your emotions are perfect. hope, doubt, love, ... a poets best sources for inspiration. very nice job take care, jm The stars shine so bright, now's the time I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face, Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you And held you close. Now I will reach for the stars... Because Oh my love, that's where you are... Though the storms of black night rage on I still see your face I still feel your lips on mine And though my heart feels all alone without you I still hear you sing to me I still hear your voice on the sea... vertical horizon |
