Hold me tight, never let me go
And let’s give the whole world a show
Let’s show them how the craziest plans
Can make so much sense in loving hands
Let them tell us we’re fools to even try
And that in the end we will only cry
But the tears we shed will be in joy
And the love we feel they can’t destroy
Together we will always overcome
And only to our hearts will we succumb
As the quiet night settles in
I sit and think of all that’s been
But thoughts will wander and they will drift
And to thoughts of you is where they shift
A saving grace, a shining light
That brightens up the darkest night
And you saved this heart from a fate
Of never knowing all that’s great
So now it pulses in the fire
Of all your unending desire
In those flames I want to stay
Through forever and a day
Tonight once more I will lay
With dreams full of what you say
The words playing in my head
The sweetest dreams are now thread
Of forever spent next to you
And all our wishes coming true
Each day waking in your sweet embrace
Gentle kisses that make my heart race
Make her feel safe, not suffer fear
Make her smile, not shed a tear
Your hands should never bring her pain
She will not live tied to a chain
Lives should be shared and not controlled
A real man needs not to be told
Tender love is all he should give
So in dread she won’t have to live
I don’t have much, but I’ll give you my all
On the promise that together we’ll fall
Give me your heart and I’ll give you mine
And what we’ll have no one can define
Deeper still we will tumble down
In each other’s eyes we can drown
And never will we look back
For there’s nothing that we’ll lack
The sweetest word
I ever heard
Spoken without a sound
With my eyes it was found
After all the time that has passed
You came upon me with a blast
Reminding me of all that I can feel
By reminding me that our love was real
Your warmth I feel so close to me
Causing shivers you cannot see
With passion you kiss me, pull me near
The sweetest words whispered in my ear
Our hands are clasped so very tight
As we welcome this perfect night
We watch as the sun fades from the sky
Staring deeply in each others eye
Our time together just begun
From this feeling we will not run
I am no longer afraid of you
Who do you think you are talking to
I’m not the same one you knew before
I have grown to become so much more
The anger within I’ll no longer hold
I will take you down until you are cold
In these flames I have been reborn
No longer bowing to your scorn
The power is now held by me
Time to open your eyes and see
Look now upon what you have made
In the bed you make you’ll be laid
Stepping out of my norm for a moment, this was written in dedication of a certain person going though a very difficult time. I will not name names but I know that you will know who you are. I feel the pain you are going through and I hope this helps and don’t ever forget to smile and breath and go slowly.
In a place I never expected to be
Everything I know so far away from me
Lost in these thoughts that haunt my mind
Feeling as if I have been blind
How did I miss all the signs you gave
Living my life as if in a cave
But now I see all that was hidden
The truth that I felt was forbidden
Still so much more for me to learn
Like for what it is that you yearn
And though I wish all our problems could be done
That once more we could be here breathing as one
The center of my life now must be
Those sweet faces that look up to me
This is by far my favorite poem. It’s by Robert Frost and has a lot of meaning. Especially to me.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
This talks how about our lives may end. How this world will end. Will it be in passion, love and hope? Will it be in hate and fear?
A month ago I would have absolutely side with Ice. I have seen and experienced so much hate, fear, betrayal. It makes it hard to believe that there could possibly be enough passion left in me or in this world to over come that.
But today I say it will be Fire. I know. You’re thinking what the hell is she talking about? Hasn’t she sworn off love? I am talking about passion for life. I have a renewed passion to make my life great. To live life as if there is no tomorrow. To love my family. To love myself. To hold my head high. To choose love of life over hate for what has happened to me. To choose passion for the everyday small things around me over fear of what may not even happen. I am choosing happiness over sadness.
I will still have times where I will feel sad or where I will feel fear. But these times will not define me or my life any longer. I am jaded, yes. I feel pessimism, yes. These things are a part of me and it will take a lot for that to change. But they are not all of me. I can’t allow it to consume me.
