This is to someone very close and near to my heart..I love him dearly..and hehe no it's not Jeremy..someone that I was very fortunate to meet in the past few months and he's proven to be a true and dear friend..

29.10.00

My soul calls out to him
In the middle of the night
Once I'm taken over by the built up fright
Taken place within the previous hours of the day
I just cry to god as I lay alone and cold in my bed
Praying that he would just come and take me away
And take me to a safe place
Just as long as I continue to feel safe just by one look at his face
God knows that his smile is my saving grace
But tears continue to fill my eyes each and every night
I no longer take pleasure in this strenuous life
For I am shackled and chained
And always to blame
But once I speak his name in my prayers to God
The burdens of my heart seem to unload
And make their way up to the stars
And as I drift off to sleep he erases all the scars
And from that moment on I no longer feel the need to scream
Only when I once wake up from a perfect dream...

This is quite a beautiful poem!  You truely have a talent honey!  I just hope you know that your "chains" don't need to be yours to carry.  You obviously know that God is there for you, rain or shine.  I hope you're not feeling any sorrow or pain in this relationship- because Jesus has a love GREATER than any love we could experience here on earth.  I want you to know that the dream can fade, and the reality that Jesus is there comes out.  Jesus is THE saving grace.  Never the less, you are such a wonderful poet, and I wish you nothing but joy!
God Bless and Keep Smiling

"And from that moment on I no longer feel the need to scream

This is a wonderful piece. I know how it feels to long for something, and to feel so angry when you awake from a dream of it. I am also glad that you turn to God when you are alone! I agree with everything that LoveAll said. Keep up the great work!

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

Well done.

simply beautiful writing
