Fragility
Touched by you,
I am drawn closer,
Saddened at times,
I run away,
With surprises in the horizon,
I await more with my breath held
Tears of crystal,
The flame of a candle.
Sometimes defeated,
I embrace truth and fate,
Forsaking everything in love's wake.
I find the pieces that make me whole
I can finally rest this tired soul
As I hide, you still uncover me
With your sweet touch
Creating waves of happiness
As quiet as the morning sun.
How long must the sky wait
To witness the budding of a rose?
How soft must a whisper be
For it to be heard?
If all rests on the strength
Of a silken thread,
I'll keep it safe in my heart
Till all time ends.
Hi! I love this poem. Your words bring to mind the man that I love. We have that silken thread of which you speak. There is a feeling of warmth and electricity in my body when he is near me. I know when he is standing behind me or in a room by the feeling, even before seeing him. When our eyes meet the feeling is intensified further rendering us speechless. We smile and feel our endless love. Take care.
