Almost Your Own

Contributed by Man_On_High on Wednesday, 9th August 2006 @ 12:42:55 AM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry



Never in my life could I capture
the free, live spirit of you
in the torn and tattered net of all my words.
I am bruised, a flower,
burning on an ash-heap-
though, strong and sure of my broken decades..
never wilting under a hail of mind-twisting fate
nor blinding, blow of love
that would turn evemore, toward a softer sun.

Only you alone, perceive beyond present pain.

You are a song inside my skin..
a sudden, sunburst of defiant laughter,
spilling over the nightly gloom of my half-awakenings;
a far, fire of splendid delight..
dancing in the dim, catacombs of my brain.
Your light has had the quickest eye for pain-

printed patterns of much joy
upon the bare walls of my life..


..broad, bold strokes of French-Canadian wit,
flaming the ruins of all my years.

With steady, uplifted hand, you beckon-
and faltering, I followed you down paths
I would not otherwise have known or dared..
limping after you up some secret, mountain
where you sing songs without need of voice or words.

I touched briefly, the branch you held out.. and bled,
pricked by a thorn of the deepest-red: your courage
..and from the gutter of all my defeated dreams,
you pulled me to heights.. almost your own.

B

Oh God, Billy ---- this made me cry (and please, please know I don't run about this place saying that with any sort of regularity at all!).

This........... is................... beautiful.


It's perfect, Billy. Every word. Perfect.

*wipes away tears and composes self*

All one need do is linger here one moment, then wonder no more
how and why your charm and grace, set this soul aflame ..

I could search for a million days and try in a million ways to express just
what these words [and you] mean to me. They would never be enough,
though I can say, that I am completely overwhelmed.

It seems like for centuries long passed I have felt you and always, my
heart has been sensitive to your touch. Your presence made itself known
long before I met you .. the brightest and most glorious star in the night.
A soft caress; a velvet whisper, gently attending my lonely days; filling
them with hope, truth and love .. you truly are everything to me.

I can’t say I’ve ever read anything more stunning in my life-
Breathtaking and so beautifully romantic in every way- though my words
themselves seem not near enough to truly give it justice. Your heart; your
words .. your love .. are the most precious things on earth ~

Je t’aime beaucoup, mon chéri d’amour- avec tout mon coeur ..
jamais et toujours!!


My heart to yours~
~Roxanne
xoxo

Wonderful, Billy!

This is gorgeous, a wonderful write. I especially love the second stanza and the italics after it. That is the best part of the poem, in my opinion. That and the end.

A lovely write, for a lovely lady.

Great write,
*hugs*
