16th Jan 08 IT IS ONLY YOU You put into words what is so difficult for me to articulate, And it’s all I can do to stop myself Drowning in our shared thoughts. Honey drips from your ruthless pen, Nectar smoothes the harsh words Flung audaciously from your gentle lips Words not only sweet but so significant, so real Frightening in their truth I feel. I shiver In the comforting caress of your shadow You protect me in your brilliance, As I slip, unnoticed, beside your blinding light And laugh, silently, not unkindly At those who never even see me, Dazzled as they are by your presence. But we both know We need each other Not to go mad in this uncaring world Where dissenting minds are not accepted, Not allowed, only rejected. Together, we keep each other sane, Someone to trust, to talk with; Not to, or at. Together, we urge the other to higher heights, And climb daily stronger ambitions Along the confusing ladder of self-worth. But really, It is only you, Your dark and beautiful mind, your teasing eyes I need – All the rest is simply sand upon the windswept shore. The waves of reality you surge my way Are all I really need to play This complex game of life. I do my best to nurture your visions And watch carefully your reckless back As you draw me gently out of my cold shell With a spider web’s delicacy and quiet strength. I hope fervently, yet so detached, That you don’t leave this world and me Before ’tis time, you see. |

"The waves of reality you surge my way Are all I really need to play This complex game of life." That should bring a smile to the intended's face! |

Together, we keep each other sane, Someone to trust, to talk with; Not to, or at. Together, we urge the other to higher heights, And climb daily stronger ambitions Along the confusing ladder of self-worth. Significant thoughts, really. I think you have the numbers to shine with your own light ... too! love Margherita ![]() |
