I Speak To You

I speak to you as though fragile.

Raised this way,

Its at times taken in offense

Though this is not my intention.

It is only done out of concern,

Not out of malice.

~

I know your strength,

Your ability to handle adversity,

You are so much stronger than I

Truth be told.

~

I stand in awe of your fortitude

For mine is but a facade,

Painted in watercolors,

Easily stormed if its weakness be known.

Yours, though transparent is ironclad,

Able to withstand any assault.

~

I am envious of you,

I am proud of you,

I am spellbound by you

And I am deeply in love with you.

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

    What a beautiful and honest poem, Dom — and what a very lucky woman is receiving it. This was a joy to read :)

      Well thank you very much, too bad she rarely ever sees them, maybe someday. :)

        Oh… someday…
        In the meantime, however, we bloggers are richer for having shared them.
