Will you hold me Find the shattered, scattered pieces Of the me I’ve lost Even knowing the cost Will be your heart’s blood Pouring into the breaks Of mine? Will you console me Soothe me, smooth my ragged edges So I don’t crumble with each breath Diminish the power of death With the steadfastness And acceptance Of love? Will you share your touch Lead me from bone-aching alone Lure me from this yawning abyss With a gentle kiss That tastes the tears I pour Making me feel both loved And blessed? Or do I ask too much? Bearing such burdens of caring Can you handle still more needing? Or is this incessant pleading Only unheard words Whisked away by winds Of reality? |

No, if there is love unconditional, no.  You ask not much really, something that should be inherent . . . |

"Only unheard words Whisked away by winds Of reality?" No - not in the "true" reality but in this perceived reality it's a question of focus. Men just have a different focus - they can't help it.  But a lovely write nevertheless.Helen |

littlewing & Honeybunch: Thank you so much, dear ladies. *S* Sometimes, when we truly can't believe how lucky we are... we keep waiting for our bank account to be overdrawn, for the blessings to disappear... which is just another burden for that unconditional love to bear. *S* Or maybe that last verse is simply a symptom of my way-too-long residence in wallow. *G* It's certainly not a truthful portrayal of responses I've received. *S* Through these sorrows and always... I am blessed. *S* |

I'm with littlewing, if it's unconditional love then your needs/wants aren't a burden to help you with. *hugs* Beautifully penned, as usual and then He created the horse... |

The touch of melancholy is felt, who could deny your desire when it is conveyed so beautifully? So very well rendered! Love, Margherita |

suthern, some will and some won't. But many more will, not because they desire something in return but simply to thank you for being who you are. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Transference -- seeing ones own traits as belonging to others -- is usually a negative thing, a way to deny some ugly trait by pretending to ourselves that others have it. Here, it is beautiful. Laura, this poem is about you. I know some of the awful things that have come to you in life, and (I hope) all of the trials you've had lately. Still you are Capital-G-Good to everyone you meet, you give loving support to anyone who needs it, and you work so hard to ease others' burdens, that you sometimes leave nothing for yourself. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I cannot even begin to answer you individually... however much I'd like to... however much you deserve such answers. Just reading your responses has tears of gratitude running down my face... I could not hope to do justice to the kindness and caring you've shown me without breaking down completely... and I'm a captive in the werk monster's lair where walls have eyes. *S* I can only say... I love you... all of you... and I thank you from the bottom of this cracked and aching heart for blessing my life so generously. I've never put one of my own postings in my library. *S* But this one's going in... not for my words... but for yours. Thank you!! |

Beloved one I will say this only once, don't you KNOW just how precious and special you are? I doubt it, simply because you cannot see the golden heart of you that shines like a beacon, warming and giving and oh so true. Unconditional love, beloved one you have it in abundance and I speak for Gray too when I say WE love you truly. not ever a kind of curse You share all the good things Then spin them into poets verse You understand my thoughts share your hopes and dreams Listen when I chatter about my life's fair schemes My heart sister is special Whether she's near or far You always seem close by me no matter where you are Memories wrap my mind Taking me back to when I was lost and foolish How different now from then My heart sister is a delight You know that's true of you Have a better day darling I mean that, oh yes I do Remember you are special Take a look around, you'll see Thousands of others love you Some almost as much as me Marsha Love you always like you forever Mushy xxx xxx xxx darling one, the way I'm feeling these days that is about the best I can do without it taking too long. Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
