For every heartfelt gesture, somehow only part is seen
Giving credence to the hour be it blessed a rest serene
As I point upon the fumblings of a chronic run away
Suddenly the dam is broken pouring forth a poignant say

In this closeness craved inside me, winds the thread of such self-doubt
And it comes not with a branding, but with sharing still left out
Just a change that needs correcting, and a strong man to be there
It’s myself I am dissecting, as I search how much I care

Without knowing of the going, time has emptied without word
Yet I knew the sadness coming, every footstep my heart heard
Like a juggler I have balanced many plates so full to spin
On the outside such composure, as the chaos churns within

A survival skill adapted, looked upon not good or bad
But a necessary evil to exist the footpath had
Without warning God struck thunder in the center of my heart
Loves seeds planted on the slanted yet the floods would not depart

There is something without reason, without explanations made
That I fought as first I met you, yet forget you could not fade
Though I stumble every footstep, tearing layers thin to skin
I remain a priceless portrait ever changing outside in

And I marvel at the future, as I lay to face the sun
Knowing soul-ly, all and whole-y that you are the only one
In conditions that require every grace my worth can place
To your credit, dear and debit, I reveal this truth I face

Now that verse alone says quite abit and beautifully too. Has feeling, want, and a desire for self realization.

When it hits hard, it hits and as you said, without warning. A great feeling though really and one that you take step by step while nurturing it's growth.

Excellent poem and very much enjoyed.
