Shared these secrets
As come trembling from my heart
That touched upon the wound you hide and cover
Yet un-exposed, the chance to heal may lack discover

We have said
Spoken in our own way
And I have always walked behind, awaited in a surface patience
That truly was my own resolve to be there for you, inert sentience

That what has been
Should be the taking of your hand, with open heart, and active hear
Take away material things I seek not wedding rings or poverty
A friend in deed to hold you close, in loose a bond of sovereignty

The body speaks
To guide my steps in love it seeks
Entrusted in your palms my heart, undoubtedly to fail and grow
Without conflict to resolve that you would not believe or know

Share these feelings
Unafraid for I have never left you
We may disagree and yet you see that honor is as honor does
And still the linger of the Aspens quake as vividly as ever was

We have been
A knowing that is virginal and white
Set apart and un-detained my heart has taken flight
The need but your support and grace, the smile that gifts my face delight

In all that hoped, along the moist regard implored to crackling fireplace
Fingers swept of button down, concern that leaves the heart to burn within its trace

Some good images here, Kathleen. Great contrast in, "Take away material things I seek not wedding rings or poverty."

A very beautiful and touching write.

grow endlessly.  This poem is no exception.

Exceptionally done!!

Nicely written all the way through but I enjoyed this a little more than the rest.

"Should be the taking of your hand, with open heart, and active hear
Take away material things I seek not wedding rings or poverty
A friend in deed to hold you close, in loose a bond of sovereignty"
