 I fight your love I won't let you in Even if sent from above I'll never let love win *** Can't you see There is no way That you could love me So Please... stay away *** I don't want to show you And cause you to turn So I'd rather prevent you Than to have you learn *** I can't let you love me And then have you go Knowing that you hate me Because of what you will know *** The outside is a mask And can shield my scars Till you find your way past And gaze at the bars *** There's nothing I'd rather do Than to love you always But in order to love you I have to revisit dark hallways *** You tell me it's worth it That I'll find "Me" in the end But drenched with fear I sit So afraid for those bars to bend *** You say you'll wait forever That this is meant to be In the end we'll be together For all that you want is Me *** Leap of faith...or tossed to sea Our dreams drawn across the sky In the end you will finally see So let's spread those wings....and fly *** ~Dedicated to those who are afraid to fly~ |

It happens so many times...we reject before we give them the chance to reject us. When you find the man that can see through that and still love you and give you the room you need to sort yourself out, then you are indeed blessed. Excellent writing, butterflies... |

LittleButterfliesDon'tCry~ Yeah, they do cry ... but softly on the shoulder of a loved one who cradles the fragility ... and rebuilds the strength, until they can fly again. This is a lovely vision of what can come when love blows the breeze beneath the wings. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Ever seen a butterfly defy you?????? LOL...my sweet....your tenacity and your hard head is just what this cowboy LOVES about you sooooo much. Keep on shouting no as you whisper yes.....and you know that I will be forever there with you. Cowboy loves a long hard ride in the rodeo of life but when it is ridden in love, trust, total commitment and the such it is an easy ride anyway. Roping you in and holding you tight but never ever will I fold down your wings. Fly high, fly proud, fly free in "YOU"...that is the butterfly that has my heart and my soul and my undaunted patience. |

Awww Butterflies this so deeply touched my heart. I read and remembered two wonderful men that adored me that I pushed away. All because I was so afraid of their love. Beautiful read my friend. Juls |

I believe that if one doesn't step out of their comfort zone and take a chance, life hasn't been lived to its fullest. Pain, worries and troubles are just a few things that build a persons charachter, and gives them strength. I think the last stanza of this piece says it all! This is a wonderful piece you've posted and I'm adding it to my library. ~Sheri |

Butterflies dc this is a poem that really touches my soul. Beautifully penned, and do I know this road, all I can say is look very carefully at what you want to hide. Take care. |

You say you'll wait forever That this is meant to be In the end we'll be together For all that you want is Me *** Leap of faith...or tossed to sea Our dreams drawn across the sky In the end you will finally see So let's spread those wings....and fly =========================== that last line says it all ... seems to me you answered your own questions and quieted your own self doubts... time to fly baby... time to enjoy the flight... kiss the moon and steal the stars love you me |

BDC, I think you have learned the lesson well my friend. You are ready to soar with the eagles high in the sky!! I know you will make it. After all, butterflies are meant to be free. Take care. This was wonderful. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
