If courage means a strong desire to live
in the form of readiness to die
then my love is courageous.
With vision it creates,
with faith it proves,
with fear it resists
the loss of heart.

If heart practices old experiences
as the mind learns new ones,
then by instinct, not only reason,
does my heart beat so for you.
Yearning, burning desire to live
before the chance to die, with a tear,
the dew of compassion.

If compassion is showing the
best part of a good man's life,
all the little nameless, unremembered
acts of kindness,
then allow me to be merciless
as I cultivate, seed, and nurture
the strongest of bonds, love.

And if to love someone is eternal
then let us inhale the bittersweet fragrance of chaos,
travel the twisted path of unrest,
fulfill each expectations of the other,
and, hand in hand,
create a world that others may reach
but are unable to touch.


create an addiction .... share a smile!!

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

'inhale the bittersweet fragrance of chaos'-that is a great line. This poem is full of great lines. I enjoyed it.
