Be strong, be brave, dare to live It is no simple thing that I give. Like a petal fallen from a lost flower I have been drifting and growing sour; then in a flame of space I was grabbed by your face. Awakened from a bed of silence as never before my heart trembled, my soul surprised once more. No more bitterness in my heart curled upon you, finally, my life starts. Every silence about to sing as the past far away I fling. I can't help falling in love with you no matter what, I'll follow this through. My heart has a fierce will of its own because of that I have learned and grown. No longer do I ignore and fight what I feel denying myself dreams becoming real. I may at times cry a tear or two but only from the sheer joy of you. You may see my soul slump and turn sad missing the years we could have had. But I have you and this is now upon you, my love I do endow. For now, we must part in the night and I am angry over our plight; but with me I take your manly scent and let it invade my senses so spent. I vow to comfort you through sorrow easing you into a softer morrow. If you cry, I'll silently hold you against me until I cry too, knowing what will be, will be. But together we'll prevail, it will be thus; no matter what, the world will part for us. Whether you be prince or pauper, stumble and can't do what's proper, to me, you'll always be a king for the emotional treasures you bring. To never again fear silence and the dark to but turn and see you and ignite a spark. Having my senses alive and gay I'll stand by you, come what may. I don't understand, never said I did I don't care to, suffice that it is. God has rewarded me with you for all I've conquered and been through. Now I seek excited peace with all my might and you, my love, are my solid knight. As you've laid siege upon my heart I willingly commanded my walls to part. I bid you enter, love of my life I hunger for you at any price. I want to laugh and be free to enjoy you and you, me. However it started, I am glad it is this, for finally, cupid's arrow didn't miss. Take my hand, give me yours, follow my heart across the floor; for my heart has been offered forevermore let me dive into you and love your core. For I love you, this I know and from here I can but grow. ©1998 Carmen Eva DuHaime Back To Poetry This page hosted by Geocities
