What prays my small begining
to fail upon the shores
of life's ever present
dangers that take hold.
Of the night I held you
so close, no seperation
of heat that tangled us
into the eyes of resignation.
The days turn to months
soon its a year
of still feeling you inside
and not having you here.
For the rage still comes
tearing at me
like I was
so understated.
Those days
we keep inside
those times we kissed
and felt no danger.
I wish for your touch
to take away my pain
the one that threatens me
is my heart still torn in two.
And the night
still calls to me
like the road before
so unending.
My time is coming
close to start
again my
seperate journey.
As the shore comes to me
the sand fails my wieght
I sink into heaven
and drift upon the waves,
that flower my own past
to the shadows of triumphs
that anger could not save
your eyes become my star.......

Oh Lord, I cried so hard after reading this, the words..the feelings, the meaning...everything.

Quite the moving piece, Michael...very nicely written! I love this...

I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

I love these lines. I found them very easy and fimiliar to relate too. This is one of your best Michael. One that belongs in my Library for sure.

Although I would have to agree with Kathleen and Snowpants, a very moving piece. But then you always do write with your heart on your sleeve.

Love

oh Michael ... this is so damn beautiful,
this is classic MG poetry..
the perfect example to show what made me fall for your poetry nearly a year ago...on first read.
the depth...the longing, the intensity of the expression...
the impact of the emotions
I felt every line of this.
my how I have missed reading you
take care poet of soul(and wind)
