Through the wake of reality’s storm
I wrap you in my arms
Gently cradling midnight’s hell
Shield you from its harm
Close your eyes, love
Dream with me
Let’s run no further
Than where we can be
Listen carefully
To insanity’s bliss
It's whispers hidden
In madness’ kiss
I’ll rock you softly
Stroke your hair
Tears close my throat
So much I care!
I watch your body
Writhe in grief
Too much to hope
That for me you weep
I’ve felt your world
Shatter and die
Though, thoughts of you
Bring mine to life
So, here I’ll stay
To hear your cries
Calm your fears
Dry your eyes
Until some day
I possess your dreams
When you open your eyes
And It’s me you see

Sheila

firecrakker,
well that write went off with a bang. It was great and powerful. It sucked me in and held me to the very end. Then left be breathless wanting more.
Write on

Sheila, this is a heartbreaker. What a strong poem! I can feel the pain, and the love within.
