Beyond

My stepsister asked about you...

06/16/13

 

Beloved, your hand is on my arm,

And I dream of you unlike any other.

 

Oh, that I could sing the shadows away!

 

Remember that time in your car?

Where we came from, where we were going?

I can't recall, but you trembled with a force

Beyond me, and I sang and sang!

 

I watched you, felt you -

Despite your demons -

Calm as much as possible at my voice.

My breath caught, caged -

Afraid at realizing I loved you.

 

Still, I love you.

I love you still.

 

If your worst consists of a need for song until the words run out,

I'll be yours beyond the grave.

Honest and sensual.

My breath caught, caged -
Afraid at realizing I loved you.

But aren't we all afraid? Not to love but of being not good enough, I guess. I loved this.

Yes. Very much the case regarding my writing this. At that time, I didn't believe I knew how to be myself, and I couldn't fathom someone liking me without reason (which would be unconditional, wouldn't it?). Xo.

I think it takes a lifetime to really know oneself. In all other cases, some things are just surprising yet worth knowing:)

[Melobldnfr]

True. Just, was afraid to be unfolded by this person at the time. Now, there's not much I wouldn't give.

[Androglossia]

I know the feeling:) .

Thank you so much K. You're not the first to mention an improvement, for lack of better terms, in my work. I am reaching an elevated point of fitness in my thoughts and emotions, and I believe this is an example of such manifesting. Thank you so much! Xo.

Always a pleasure, and I couldn't agree more :) xo
