because we love

I will collect your insecurities  
place them on a window shelf
where sunlight bleaches worries
and hesitancy fade

with simple strength and feminine dagger
I'll slay your dragons
pin their wings to velvet board,
store them quietly, for calm reflection

I'll pluck your calloused defences,
wash away scarred layers
and savour the delectable inner core of you

with soft brush strokes, I'll paint my heart to your chest
I'll match you breath for breath, sigh for sigh
I'll believe in you, steady your doubts and love only you.

This poem really hit me between the eyes, because in addition to being predictably amazing, it was emotionally stimulating and relatable... particularly the last stanza, which gave words to feelings I'd not yet found a way to express. I shouldn't have to tell you I like it... I think it's obvious I'm a big fan.

and they say love dont live here any more
but i will always love again,even hurt again
cause i always needed you to stand for me when insecure
to bleach all worries cuase i know its only you could
im am always hesitant ,you made walk strong and sure
your daggers may not be the strongest arms but they suit me well
my defenses are shattered and always counted on you
the inside are all scattered layers and rust,make them go away
so i could feel your heart and breaths so near,then i will live again
what lovely words ,how tender and kind..really loved this
lovely write..

I really loved this piece! Every line I was drawn in by and I kept thinking can it get better? And it did. The last stanza was beautiful; wonderfully written and perfectly placed in this piece. I don't have any critique for this work at all cause it was perfect just the way it was. Excellent job!

I wish I had met a woman like the one of this poetry. The first stanza was the most powerful expression of love a woman can express for her man. Perfectly possessive to overwhelm the lover man and conquer him completely

Aaaw. This is sooo sweet. I loved the "feminine dagger." Really cool. :)) The last stanza was my favorite though. You showed your heartfelt emotions through it. Thank you for sharing such a lovely poem. :)
