Apprehension, misgivings, misunderstandings, I thought it was over but hope blooms again, And yet there remains this seed of doubt I fear that hope may end in more pain I face my fear as I look in your eyes Searching for what I often saw there I see the flame of it partially hidden I avert my eyes and wipe off a tear How can you not know you complete me? Or do you doubt such love can be true? In my heart, in my hopes, in my dreams, In my every fantasy exists only you Why is it that I love you so much? Why is it so hard to just let go? I'm not sure what binds us so tightly But we belong together I know So again I offer all that I am I open my heart and trust in you An undying love is yours for the taking, Accept it or not, what will you do... Steven Seaman To thine own self be true... |

Steve!!! My goodness it's so good to see you again. And to read you! We've missed you around here. There is hope in your poem, I feel it. Excellent!! |

Ah...that delicate balance of trust, and trying again...a very vulnerable state, yet worth every cringing moment of wait - when all falls into place once again. I wish you all the luck in the world, and maybe just a pinch of fate.  Sooo good to see you again, as PdV said. Where the heck have you been sir? You should post a few more poems while you're here, to get us through the times when you're gone! LOL (Long spells, they are!!) Glad to see you back here with hope in your eyes! ***curtsies*** "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 |

Darn it! That bloke's back with the six pack and the silver poetic tongue.  I see you haven't lost any of your talent while you've been away, good to see you back. Thanks for the chance to read and reply. Craig Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

This was an excellent piece!!! I could relate to every word you wrote here. Being in love with someone who doesn't exactly feel the same way or who can't be with you for whatever reason is the hardest!! You have expressed your feelings quite beautifully. take care, amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
