PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Bent as far as I can go,

stretching myself and my wit,

Fighting for the best pieces of myself.

I am concave,

I am not complete.

In my life I push and pull each day,

smile and laugh - doubt - trying.

Solitude is enticing, an intermission - 

but a trick of the senses.

What I want most is a You,

capricious as I am

I desire desire.

I've felt unaccompanied in my life

and feel routine being alone....

but the clouds are parting, a new picture in my heart - 

a want to fill the void - 

for you to hold onto me.

Shroud me with yourself.

Keep me warm always,

never let me believe I am lone

ever again.

Let me feel your heart beat against mine,

overwhelm me, stifle me with your world.

[For so long I've felt alone - alone in my mind, alone

in my heart, alone in my body. Hold me down until I'm certain

I was never alone, never unloved,

never forgotten.]

Only your virility can save me,

your strength giving me rest.

You are my warm safe siesta.

Let me close my eyes in your arms,

and open them to the comfort of your face.

A place that I belong,

like a key in a lock

Open me

and don't let me go.
