The Shores of Alone

Can not you feel my love grow strong?
It matters not the time we're gone.
Why must you play at love so cool?
It's not a game, and I'm no fool.

Can not you give in to the force,
stop holding on to fruitless course?
True happiness abides in we
the perfect mates, as you do see.

Can not you let down just a bit
give love a chance, the fire's lit?
Too late to go, too soon to stay
A love like ours; destiny's day.

Can not you say just once I do
feel longing, needing, deep and true?
The pull we feel near magnetized
there really is no way to hide.

Can not you leave the rest behind
to take your soul mate, whom you bind
and give this passions it's true test-
You know we're different from the rest.

Can not you see how weak it is
to just remain in stifledness?
True strength it takes to make life real
not false tradition without feel.

Can not you just reach out your hand
and hold me close, I cannot stand
I need your arms to hold me tight
your choice, and you can make it right.

I can, and will, if you will call
to you I offer soul and all
I can, if you just meet me near
and listen; we have much to hear.

It's not too late, not truly so
though we have many miles to go
Can you not see how much it's worth
Can you not try to lift the curse?

I cannot do it without you
to no avail my efforts true.
But you can reach through time and space
and all this pain, you can erase.

Can not your body prove your heart
and stop unending tear apart?
We were not meant for typical
Our love is far too magical.

Come to me now and stop this cry
come soon to me, before I die.

That's one powerful appeal, Sandra...  Two very subjective things come to mind, however (if I may): 1) Anyone who needs to be convinced to such degree may "not be worth it" to begin with, and 2) Finding happiness only in another is a recipe for failure, for others are unpredictable and changing -- Happiness must start from within, and Lord knows, I understand from where you're coming, but these are lessons learned sooner or later, and it seems that learning them sooner will save much precious time better spent elsewhere...  (Heart-wrenching poem, though...)

Oh, Sandra.....this is beautiful!  The questions that are felt deep within will surely find the answers.........

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

Mark, it would seem to be true, no one should need such a plea, however, SOME men are not as evolved as you nor understand their emotions as well.   And yes, you should be happy within  yourself, and that is a goal I struggle to reach.
Vic and Sunny, you have both been there, I know. Thanks for reading..

Cat, remove the "struggle" and just continue to reach - you will be amazed at the growth....

Now you just KNOW this speaks to my heart.

Can not you just reach out your hand
and hold me close, I cannot stand

to you I offer soul and all

We were not meant for typical
Our love is far too magical

Oh Sandra, I love, love love it. What a beautiful piece
