here I stand,
   my heart open to,
     thee.
bared naked,
   shed of all...
       save a smile,
    for thee
I offer it up freely,
        my mind,
          my hopes,
            my love,
    offered only unto,
       thee
  let the shades
      of our pain,
          cease
      their dancing feet,
        and rest...
     let us:
lay them down,
     lay them down with us,
        as I lie in peace,
           with thee

It is not always easy opening up our hearts to someone, Matter or fact sometimes it can be down right scary!

Love is the Light, Forward is the Motion.

very nice work here...
perfect form and presentation...
loved the "thee's" and
the "naked save the smile" line
very nice indeed.
take care, jm


 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.

 Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made,
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange...

Jason,

I enjoyed your writing here. This particular snippet drew me...

"let the shades
      of our pain,
          cease
      their dancing feet,
        and rest..."

Lovely verse, I must say.

~ Claire

Thank you Meadowmuse! Chris said that was his favorite part too. LOL, I think his exact words were: "This rocks, but I don't care too much for the rest of it!" LOL He's helping me edit it right now!

Jason, Jason...and you trust his opinion??  Have you learn't nothing?!?
LOL    (teasin')
In all actuallity, I've been waiting to sign up for poetic lessons from him, but the guy just won' have me! Said something about squeezing blood from stones.. *sigh*

I like the poem, personally, and in its entirety.

I didn't say the rest sucked... I only said that if I were to have written it, I might have done it a bit differently. YOU asked!
Geesh!
