Hold Me Against the Fences of Fate

Come and bend my state of mind
Wind round me if you must
The night is pretty
With unnumbered stars
And I am mellow, with my wounds
Here in your trust

Gently touch my cheek
Hold me against the fences of fate
Winter winds are nothing to me my friend
It is life that harbors
That trumpet, which I must learn
To play once again

Be the sunrise of many years ago
Within this precious time
Raise me up to where grace’s garden
Will weigh much more
Than this wild jungle that rages
Inside of my mind

Then surely the whisper of my pen
Will reach the depths
To prove, that I am the woman
Who speaks the language
That can only be interpreted
Here inside of you

Drink my rain that kisses your heaven
Drops only you can see
Draw in each breath from my own
Dance with me now
Until out of my heart, my taste
For freedom, is gone

Just my mind working in overdrive...........

Neva, How you do write with such flowing lines of yearning passion that seem subdued. You send this reader off to reverie. Re-reading brings new mental images to everything you write. Your insights are such a delight. Keep your gears in overdrive, there they do grind the grist of your sweet flour.

[VelvetRosetta]

And just the pictures your writting can prevoke realing around inside my head. Each line added a new picture to gaze over. I could feel your passion and yern for the same things. Wonderfully well written, Thank you!

This is stunningly beautiful. it is a statement of thought of what you want that person to be. You want the magically feeling of love of love to flow through each pour and bring peace and freedom with it. I love the imagery of the rain and the sun. It allows the reader to feel more clearly of what you are speaking of.

"The night is pretty
With unnumbered stars."

Brilliant wording.

[Kaylor Mason]

Wow! This is really good. I especially like the ending. "Be the sunrise of many years ago, within this precious time." That's a great line. I like the flow of it too. It rolls on without hurry, at a calm gentle pace. Beautiful

beautiful poem Neva, the ending struck me as the most beautiful... "Drink my rain that kisses your heaven
Drops only you can see
Draw in each breath from my own
Dance with me now
Until out of my heart, my taste
For freedom, is gone"

i can totally relate to this piece it comes from the heart...

To absolutely lose the self in that intoxication, this is mind blowing! xx
