Close my eyes
Take myself away
To where I can be held
In your arms
Without guilt
All night if I want...
My reverie is broken
By unwanted thoughts
What is this sham?
This lie I call friendship?
It all hurts
My soul sobs for your touch.
Close my eyes
Take me back
Your eyes gaze upon me
With so much emotion
I am swept away
That smile of yours
Takes my breath.
Touch me!
Make my pulse race
My body feel light
Not my own...
NO! Don't open Eyes!
Stay shut
Keep me locked away
From the life I can't...
...Breathe...
Close my eyes
Please...
Please...
  Love me.



Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

this is very sensual and yet sad, I to feel this way at times, if I could just lay in his arms things would be better, take all the craziness away.

*sigh* if only they would when we love them so much, but sometimes we can't change them or the way the feel.
Lovely, heartfelt work here hon

Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Your eyes gaze upon me
With so much emotion
I am swept away
That smile of yours
Takes my breath.
Touch me!

I know these feelings ..you expressed them well

This TRULY took my breath away. I read it in one long gasp of air... this was so beautiful, yet so full of emotion and what seems to be empty hope. Great work

Hi Sonjes,

I feel your pain, your indecision, your numbness but yet I live this very thing every day and can not deside which way to go myself so I guess I will tell you I am with you in spirit and wish the best for you which ever way you choose.

Love, Cerenity

I want to THANK YOU all for responding to my poem...it was what I needed to cheer me on a particularly uncheery day.
I've been away from DP for a while, but when I feel better, I will be replying a lot more than I have...Till then...

I absolutely love that!  (and I hope this doesn't sound egotistical).. but it reminds me a lot of my own writing. beautiful, intense, you must have felt true love...  I recognize the feelings you expressed.
