I'll be...

Thoughts of love and life.

I’ll be…

A lover’s tender kiss,

Fervent and true,

The striking moon’s eclipse,

A luminescent view.

 

I’ll be…

Waves on sandy shore,

Crashing with the tide,

The mountain you adore,

Standing strong with pride.

 

I’ll be…

Spring times gentle rain,

Colourful flowers bloom,

The ease from all your pain,

Your beloved music tune.

 

I’ll be…

The eagles perpetual soar,

Each footprint that you make,

The vast lands you explore,

Every single breath you take.

 

I’ll be…

The gust of wind concealed,

Soft glistens in the snow,

Summer sun revealed,

I’ll be everywhere you go.

 

I’ll be…

The truth in all you seek,

The love inside your heart,

Strength when you are weak,

The creative flow of art.

 

I’ll be…

The wisdom in the word,

The justice in your cause,

Your willpower undeterred,

The calmness when you pause.

 

I’ll be…

The dreams that you chase,

The dreams not yet discovered,

No matter what the pace,

In time they’ll be uncovered.

 

I’ll be…

The beauty that you see,

With your empathetic eyes,

In your life I’ll be,

The answer to your why’s.

 

I’ll be…

Your unwavering conviction,

In all you know is true,

You are my addiction,

I’ll remain in you.

 

I’ll be…

No matter what fate brings,

No matter what HE plans,

I’ll fly with open wings,

In your heart I’ll land.

 

I’ll be…

The colour in your sky,

Your love set me free,

In you I will reside,

Forever I will be…

I will be honest I do not usually like rhyming poetry, often times the rhymes feel forced or over used, but honestly your poetry is just lovely. I love the hope in your stanzas and how even though you seem to have such an unhappy burden weighing on your life, you still don't seem to just give up or in. And for me who can write such unhappy poetry with nothing truly wrong I find that to be a very admirable quality, thank you for your beautiful words.

Wow, that's interesting, I've never met a poet who doesn't like rhyme. But I understand your reasons behind it, sometimes they can seem forced. Rhyme is part of my soul, I love rhyming. Thank you so much for your kind review and nice words, they are a comfort and certainly humble me.

[kera moondust]

Your rhymes are beautiful =) and you are quite welcome.

[Broken Wings]

Ohhh Cairo, this is so beautiful, the girl you wrote this for is truly so blessed to have such amazing words written about her. And you are lucky to have such an inspiring muse. I like the repetition of I'll be, even if it doesn't fit with some sentences, it makes the poem special I think. It also makes the ending powerful hun. "forever Ill be..." wouldn't make sense without the repetition.

"I’ll be…
The wisdom in the word,
The justice in your cause,
Your willpower undeterred,
The calmness when you pause."

This stanza is just beautiful, I can tell this piece comes from a very real place in your heart and a beautiful heart you have. Stay strong hun :)

[DJ]

Thank you so much Broken Wings, for your very sweet words, for your time and kindness, you have a beautiful soul my friend.

[Catlen]

It's a wonderful poem. Excellent word choice, powerful meaning. Well Done!

[DJ]

Thank you so much for stopping by and pausing with me awhile my friend.

[Sam]

This is a powerful expression of your love. I'll be... what better things than all the beauty and the grace in the world. But you will be forever you. That is pretty cool.
My favorite part is this:
I’ll be…
The beauty that you see,
With your empathetic eyes,
In your life I’ll be,
The answer to your why’s.

As a lady I can say I have a lot of why so the part you say in your life I'll be, the answer to your why's. Is comfort but then you add strength too here:
I’ll be…
No matter what fate brings,
No matter what HE plans,
I’ll fly with open wings,
In your heart I’ll land.

Then you seal it with a kiss here:
I’ll be…
The colour in your sky,
Your love set me free,
In you I will reside,
Forever I will be…

Very well penned. It was such an enjoyable read thank you for the rr. Can't wait to see what is next.

[DJ]

Thank you so much Sam. I love reading your reviews, the way you see my writes and describe them gives me a different perspective or picks up a pattern that I hadn't noticed. Thank you for your time and your kindness. I am so glad you like it. I think most ladies have a lot of why's haha.

[bobc]

C...not sure the repetition is working for you here...have you tried this one with out it? ...bobc

[DJ]

Thanks Bobc, when I'm feeling a little better I'll read it without the repetition and see if it sounds better, I know it doesn't fit as a leader into some of the stanzas but for some weird reason I kind of like that. As always, thank you for the feedback my friend.

[Tom]

Astounding ! This wonderful poem would inspire anyone with even the slightest interest in poetry to want to take up the pen themselves and start writing!

Exquisite as ever Cairo !

[DJ]

Wow, thank you so much Tom, I really appreciate it.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

So beautiful in terms of the depth of emotion shown here. I feel that this was an honest piece, and I felt as though it was written as a love letter of sorts even before I read your author's note. Great imagery, especially in the 2nd and last stanzas. Beautifully done...

[DJ]

Thank you so much Sarah, your words are always a pleasure to read. It is an honest piece, for the love and light of my days, she is the one who has stood beside me through my illness. Thank you again Sarah :)

[Katho28]

I love how you've used the repetition of "I'll be..." and how you've described yourself as many things, creating this sense of deepness and layers upon layers of meaning... A truly beautiful poem... Love the rhyme.. so profound and emotional... thank you for posting this :) I loved it.

[DJ]

Thank you Kath, I am glad that you enjoyed one of my more positive pieces. Your words mean a lot to me my friend.

[London's Lily]

This is incredibly beautiful! I deeply envy any girl who has someone to write such adoring things about her. :)
I love the whole poem, but this is one of my favorite parts:

I’ll be…
The eagles perpetual soar,
Each footprint that you make,
The vast lands you explore,
Every single breath you take.

[DJ]

Thank you Lily, I thought I'd better write a positive and loving one before she kicks my bum haha nah just joking. She inspires me. Thank you for your kind review my friend :)

[Hana Saemon]

She is lucky, this muse of yours. Im sure she feels the same way. This is beautifully written and made my heart skip a beat. :)

[DJ]

Thank you, glad you liked it. I am the lucky one :)
