Key

To live out of fear

revenge

or obligation

would be a crime

 

Now

You have total choice in where

and how

You

invest Your time

 

When we know that We

cannot stop the ticking

of the clock

 

There should be no need for You

to upon my heart or life

have to knock

 

Trusting in You

completely

without holding back

 

Unshielded from potential

psychological, physical, or legal attack

 

Opening all of myself to You

All of my vulnerability

with nothing

hidden from Your view

 

My heart

yearning for You

to have a place

where You are

 

Wanted

Needed

Desired

and Loved

 

is only a start

 

To embracing

the joy i find in every single day

 

With You

by Your side

is where i long to stay

 

My gift to You

a symbol

a token

 

Of all that has

and has not

been spoken

A strong person wrote this. Your work just keeps getting better.
Great writing.

[New Theory]

Finely crafted piece which takes out the emotion very pleasantly.

I love the way you've crafted this piece, with the subtle rhyme scheme and short succinct lines and sentiments...I only wish I was better at following this mantra myself...I'm getting there though...well-done Phoenix, and well-said :)

[Lyn Anderson]

What I like about this is it is a logical expression of the illogical surrender -- nicely done.

If only love was simple. What a great write, you can feel the emotion in this piece.

Nicely penned.

[Coyote Poetry]

Love should be simple.
