~ Someone is following Me ~ by poetFemme Listen - do you hear that? My pace quickens almost instinctively, with fear Determined footsteps closing in, is what I hear. I do not look behind me, just quickly left and right Then I dash across the street to find more light... I hear his breathing now and feel his eyes burning through I whisper,"God - where can I go, what can I do?" Panic in my throat and now tears well up in my eyes Should I turn around and catch him by surprise? I know he's on my heels, I feel his hands reaching out Is there anyone who'll hear me scream or shout? My pace quickens almost instinctively, with fear Determined footsteps closing in, is what I hear. I stop cold in my tracks, and I spin around to see The very thing, that all my life's been chasing me... He's standing there, and on his face a smile beaming and down his cheeks, I notice now a few tears streaming. He opens up his arms, and stands there waiting While I stand confused, obviously debating - Next thing that I know, I find myself in his embrace ~ Sigh ~ I always run from love, and lose the chase... "Fantasies enrich our lives to the fullest, but true satisfaction comes from creating your own story in the real world! Live out your fantasies & make a storybook with beautiful pictures for the world to enjoy! -poetFemme |

I have to agree with JM wise-gator here, save your energy. Don't run, take my hand and we can walk... |

With me it seems to be the other way around, love runs from me. lol A wonderful poem really enjoyed it. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |
