For You

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.

~

    ‘If only …’ Absolutely love it. Inferiority complex. I bow before you O Master. Maybe I should not go around thinking I am a ‘poet’.

    1. Dom DiFrancesco Avatar

      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.
