Behind The Purple

Let me take your pain

Your eyes, so brown, pour violet.

Your wringing hands fight mine.

My fingers touch your wrists,

Begging to be entwined in yours.

 

Let me in, babe..

 

Brick by painful brick

Lets work to remove the wall.

Let your hands fall into mine.

Lay your head on my breast.

 

Let me in, babe...

 

Lay your weapons at the door.

Let your tears moisten my lips.

Let my hands comb your hair,

Your face fall into my palm.

 

Let me in, babe...

Author's Note

It means so much for you to let me know you...

What a tender write. Two sets of hands, one on each side, are better then just one in removing the obstacles that separate us.

Your pen has a soft touch poetess.

a beautiful expression of love...great work

also, i love the repeated phrase: let me in babe...

how often do we think that about someone you want to let into your life but struggle in the process

This is BEAUTIFUL. I know how it feels to HURT because someone won't let you in. It hurts when you have to break down the barries. Some people are worth it. Anywho! This poem is wonderful.

Lay your weapons at the door. . .

What any person must do if they are to know another. Break down barriers and let someone in even if it hurts! Great job!

Such a beautiful expression of love... moving closer.. removing the obstacles that keep you from melting into one.. I thought it flowed like a gentle song. Wonderful, lifting words...

Open and willing, the first step to understanding anyone. This is a great write, the need to know and to understand is a big part of human nature I think. Letting someone in is the ultimate definition of trust.

A very heartfelt piece. Nicely done!
