The power


I do not dare take the chance
to feel the touch of lovers dance
inside, I have an ache within
do not need another to begin
disappointments have a way
creep in your heart there to stay
for now do not contend in hope
again to fall on slippery slope
so many things can you arrange
beat of heart you can not change
for now I know who holds the key
to own that power is only me

Self shields can save us
sometimes
in pushing away the night
sometimes
they block the sun
sometimes...

A true thought provoking well thought write...very good, much enjoyed!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
