In the space between moments

0 posted 1999-12-19 01:23 AM


My soul has long seeked
The glitter of my dreams
Reaching outward
Towards the silver skies
Wanting only
Acceptance.

My heart once yearned
To be understood
A tender hand to hold
A soft embrace
Wishing only for
A friend.

I once felt abandoned
Within this world
Iced over
Closed from life
Needing only
To be lifted up.

In the light of your eyes
My body emmersed
I am now whole
So safe here
Wrapped within the cloak
Of you.

Upon warming wings
I fly
As you carress my face
And whisper tenderly
I know now
You are where I belong.

~Jeff, you are my world, and I love you more than anything~

Veyr nicely written Alwye and I like the form you used here...just a discussion I had with another poet about free verse the other day...who says free verse can't be formed? The format work well with this. Nicely done

Alwye -
Ah ... love that makes the heart sing,
what a wonderful feeling you've portrayed.
Best of everything to you.
