Where You Are

I want to be where you are
Not this black empty void;
An invisible box tempered by the hands of Pandora
And treasured by the hearts of the lonely.

I want to be where you are
Not in places of flux,
Where today I might see my reflection
And tomorrow I might be a reflection;
Mirrored images that distort my place and your time.

I want to be where you are
Not in this sad, sad storm---
A storm whose clouds are filled with pain
And whose rain taste of salty tears.

I want to be where you are
Not be a pawn to the Fates---
Let my pain be their pain
And let them feel the burn upon ashen hands
As they guide me this way but never that way.

I want to be where you are
Not just in my dreams,
For the eve’s magic comforts my weary eyes
But torments my heart when I sleep.

I want to be where you are
In that place where our love grows,
A place that radiates with the beams of Aurora---
That place of sweet thoughts and red rivers,
Of amber walls laced with white roses,
I want to be in your heart.


Marcel

Wow. This is beautiful!!!! Loving so much you dwell in them...this is so beautiful and close to your heart it's as if sacred. WOW is all I keep coming back to in my mind. I am saving this. This was soul bearing!! Touching.

Marcel, that is yearning, burning love at its finest. You certainly convinced this reader of your undying love for her.

This was so sweet, so sad...

May she return your feelings and fill your heart and soul up with joy!

A beautiful piece of poetry!
