Across the wide expanse
I see you inching towards me
Bit by bit
One day at a time.
We wish it was quicker
Less inhibited
But our baggage hinders progress
So much to be dealt with
Decisions made
Guilt discussed
Can I, can’t I, will I?
I feel ready you were heard to say
There’s a time coming
Where I want to be me
But first there’s demons
Gathered about me in so many forms
My brain is fighting to stay afloat
The prize is there
Worth the taking
Worth the striving
Worth the winning.
Like so many rainy days
We huddle against the cold
Words flying
Intent written large
Reaching out,
Caressing each others souls
Knowing why we are in this place
Cherishing the limited time we know we have.
I have looked beyond your faults and flaws
For therein lies the greatest secret of all
A miracle that has awakened me
Brought me alive
No longer looking into loneliness
But aware your love is calling
Beckoning me home.
Hope of love, worth any risk. Great song too.
Thank you so much Jen, good Aussie talent on display…
Morning! Nods. 😊
This one got to the romantic in me. So hopeful, so intimate, so special. The lines that brought the tears (the good kind!) were: “Reaching out/Caressing each others souls/Knowing why we are in this place.”
One of your best love poems I’ve read — maybe even the best because it’s a declaration of love, no matter what, no matter how, that two lovers shall be together “Cherishing the limited time we know we have.”
Sorry, one of my soppy days. But good tears are nice for a change. So, thanks.
My pleasure. Thanks I’m glad my words touched you it’s those responses that are so heartening…
WOW-Good, Michael.
Thank you Miss J you are very kind….hope you are doing well today….
Well, it’s Friday–so that’s always good, regardless that it’s the 13th 🙂 I got a new cell phone today…so the learning curve starts yet again….I may have to do the “Shadow” prompt as though my shadow is way more proficient, technologically 🙂
Great idea…look forward to reading your response….
🙂
You just HAD to give me the shivers lol Seriously though, there are no words to describe your poem. I always enjoy reading your poems 🙂
