I try to keep you at a distance
Pushing back the spark of trust
I can’t withstand another fall
By golden promises turned to rust

I try not to look into your eyes
Ignoring the future I might see there
I beg for strength to turn away
Before I’m blinded by the glare

I try to tune out the melody
The song you play to my heart
I’ll not memorize the lyrics
Just to replay them when we part

Don’t tell me your dreams
And where we will go
I can’t believe the fairy tales
I just don’t want to know

I won’t read the words you compose
Nor feel the rhythm of your rhyme
Holding fast to the guard rail
So my heart will remain mine

The more that you show me
And the more that we go through
Each moment bringing me higher
As I fall deeper into you

I do so love coming into the forum and finding one of your poems.  This is exceptional and it hits home quite hard right now.  I love the way you tie the emotions and words together.   The plea and the beckoning from the heart are very touching.  Great write as I have come to
expect from you "SIS".

ButterfliesDC~
I agree with the Balladeer ....

'Each moment bringing me higher
As I fall deeper into you'

Wonderful lines.

BDC,

This was awesome my friend.  Loved it!!  Not sure how I missed it the first time, but things have been crazy here so it is possible.  Nice writing.  I hear a butterfly roaring in the distance!!!

This is truly beautiful my dear, and sad at the same time.  Pulls on a couple sensitive strings right now I must say.  I am stricken for words to express what I felt as I read this... all I can say is that it is very, very heartfelt and well expressed.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Yes, indeed, all the chores and daily grind of reality have nothing to do with what really matters.  Well said!

So very beautiful.  I have been holding back on giving my heart completely due to the fear of being hurt and your words hit so very close to home.  I will be looking for more of your beautiful words and I'm adding you to my private library.  Keep up the good work!!
