Thinking about you before I drift away
Sweetens the bite of loneliness that keeps me awake
And sweeps up the fragments
Of my heart
That have been broken and scattered
from place to place
Your kind nature
Your gentle soul
Your rough edges
Your unfaltering principles…
Make me melt just a little
And my heart sink to the ground
It makes me happy you’re a part of my life
And that I get to rest my soul beside you
Again and again
You’re just one of those people I’ll never get tired of
And you make me feel like you feel the same way
Your hugs are like a shield
From the daggers to the heart
The storm clouds that culminate in the mind
And the fears that sink in the gut
When you’re around these symptoms dissipate
And the whole world, just for a moment,
Feels complete and infinitely connected
Love it. Is it to someone special? Have you read any of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barret Browning. If not have a look at his Dramatic Romances. There are some pretty scary stories there as in Porphyria’s Lover. I’d like to see you try a poem about something you have read in the paper or know of i.e. bad experience, murder etc and link it to the philosophical views you express about life/humanity even the refugees. Is that possible or not appealing.xxxxxxxxx

Very much appealing! Than you for the feedback. Something I need to do more of. Haven’t looked at Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s work in years! Will go back over both. Watch this space! ๐
