Whenever You Are Near Fear resides in me, bends me to it's wishes some days and no one seems to understand. I risk pain, and sorrow, in the shape of loving, holding onto moments invested, fairytale feedings, walking through clouds in my stroll throughout my garden paradise. I count the petals daily, that fall from the roses, placing them between pages of my life, drying them as keepsakes of your love. Each evening I mist them with moisture kisses, allowing them the nourishment to bring me joy come morning. They deliver to me, a healing, a contentment, a subsiding of fear for the time my eyes can view their beauty. I pause to touch their velvet softness and remember the feel of you, when last we met. You mean more to me than words can say, although I try to leave you with a sense of me to fill your eyes, I never know if I succeed, I never know if you know of the pleasure you bring me, and how the fears release their hold, whenever you are near. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 06-21-2001).] |

'I risk pain, and sorrow, in the shape of loving, holding onto moments invested,' Ahh, Wynter, isn't that the price on loving? To risk the hurts of our soul? I hope your tenderness and feelings are appreciated...gentle smile |

Fear resides in me, bends me to it's wishes some days and no one seems to understand. I risk pain, and sorrow, in the shape of loving, holding onto moments invested, Just had to comment again... fear resides in ua all at times..and the joys of love are always always...seeded with the risks..... Back to the top with this..too good to not have another round |
