I bleed for you,
When you cry I cry for you,
Tears that stain my soul,
Not out of sympathy alone,
Not out of pity,
Not out of martyrdom,
But out of purest love
True and genuine.
Ingrained like roots buried deep,
Twisting, wrapping around my bones;
Without them I would starve,
Without you I would wither,
An impossibility.
We are sown of perfect seed;
Ordained by the universe,
Bound by what cannot be bought,
It must be grown,
Watered,
Nourished,
Nurtured to maturity,
Protected until the end of time–
I am yours.

Absolutely stunning.
Thank you Kimberly, I was in one of my romantic moods. :)
This one is so beautiful and true, it honestly brought tears to my eyes.
Lots of love and hugz.
Thank you Patty, I hope they were happy tears. Hugs to you my friend. :)
Yes, they were. :) Hugz ♥
How romantic, Dom!
Thank you, it was the mood I was in.
Ooh la la!
Wee! Wee! :)
What an amazing soul you are.
Thank you so much, that is very nice of you to say. :)
Beautiful. Powerful. Deeply Resonant.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
‘If only …’ Absolutely love it. Inferiority complex. I bow before you O Master. Maybe I should not go around thinking I am a ‘poet’.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind comment. I am honored and blushing all at the same time. :)
Well you can thank me by returning the favour. Only constructive feedback welcome. Ego very fragile, had severe battering over the years of my long marriage. If you think it’s cool do let me know. If on the contrary you think it’s crap don’t reply. I don’t want to know. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
I would think of doing it no other way, I am not at all a mean-spirited person and therefore any feedback I would give would be both constructive and supportive. I read one of your posts last night where you discussed in detail, your history and I have to say I was astounded. You have been through so much and still keep fighting on, a sign of great strength. Be well my friend, its very nice to meet you.
