If I could take your anguish
and apprehension away I would
spread them beyond the waves
that drift inland, from every
approaching
storm.
What makes sense
when life is slipping
from between my fingers?
Sanity is held
at bay; oh ‘tis mine I fear.

Between the silent verse
and the approaching dawn
I sense your distress;
oh, my darling, I would change
places with you were fate
should offer the occasion.

Please don’t turn away,
let me honor you-
I suspend my very life
to offer my hands
for such a time as this.
I love you now as I never have.
Was my love mere words?

I trust not!
For love without actions is a corpse
whose bones have since been picked
and my love lives-it lives now!
I won’t allow the threat
of storm to destroy what I hold dear.
And where are the deeds I lay
before you?  The comfort
of a thousand
twinkling stars that cover
us at twilight!

Look at them with me and wish
upon one?
I still believe in miracles,
my sweetheart.

I’m not afraid of being alone,
for in the years to come I will know
I held you close for such a time-
marked with sorrow, yes, but
held together with the thread
of sincerity
and breathed upon with candle drops
as rain
from vows I spoke so many years
ago.

They fall upon us now, the fruit
of all the spoken
syllables I said before the priest.
They speak to me
now in fine versification?
No, for they only
form a chorus where angels
practise-
love.  Oh!  How they practise-
through every verse that fills
my stolen sky.

I feel lost-
in this dreaded valley,
where silence is
a haunting sound
of a violin, and flutes play to
far-off sunsets.

But look at the stars with me.
There, the music is magnified
and in that my love is manifested.

No other pain is so gut-wrenching
than watching you suffer, knowing
I can do nothing-
but pray.

And pray for the stars to multiply
and the seeds of my vows to
fill the page.

Page upon page of love
for I would never forgive myself
had I not been present for this,
our appointed time.

I feel lost-
from reason,
uncertainty and deprivation

Who would keep watch
with me?  Who would listen
to the ramblings of a woman
in torment?

I feel lost-
though not alone,
for I have a starlit sky
and you, my love,
for this-
our appointed time.

I turn ‘round and know,
I just know,
I am going to be alone.

In that, I am no longer lost.
For you found me when I most needed you.

I love you;
please don't leave me here alone.

Your love comes alive in your words, as does your anguish. God bless you.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Love is real you are not alone. Have faith. Nice Poem revolves on the comfort love has. People need that instinctively with fashion.

There is so much love in your words
even though they are not for me
it give me hope for the days ahead that there is a God up there that cares for us

Well stated. Love much to often seems to also include pain - but love always remainds long after everything else has passed ! Thanks

This is so full of pain... you make us feel an ache in our throats from the tormented cries and wetness from the tears. Well written!
