I Will Kiss Your Scars

In times of need ... a true friend

I Will Kiss Your Scars

Your history has no relevance

I acknowledge you as you are

Bygone tribulation left wounds

But you survived harsh lessons

To rise up to be much stronger

Reading your heartfelt writings

Reveals subconscious sensitivity

With undercurrent vulnerabilities

Where wanders a confused spirit

Searching for true love’s rescue

As past betrayal created caution

You built an emotional partition

With fear as its foundation stone

Thus using reluctance as a shield

Deflecting any fresh relationships

So as your kindred friend I promise

To cloak your insecurities in smiles

Forever my soul support is primed

If you need to call on my assistance

I will kiss your scars until they heal

There was a time, not so many years ago, when this was exactly what I wished for, from a certain man in my life. But it's a tricky balance, being supportive of another person's healing gains, but not coming at this with a "fix her" approach. That's the perfect balance your words convey . . . this is how you stand by someone without assuming your assistance will be needed, just offering affection (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Precisely my friend - I never presume or push support, it is enough to offer and wait (but not too long if rescue s required)! hanks for your review my friend …:-) PS and the ((HUGS))

'I Will Kiss Your Scars'
Phil Oz O'fee,
To accept the reality in one another of 'coping mechanisms' is so winsome. I think that we all have unique experiences and deal with the effects accordingly-uniquely. We are complex after all as is all of our lives. You have given voice to what is needed by all of us. Sounds like love to me.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thank you Kathy - your review also reminded me of these lyrical words;
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all (Deep Purple -Love Conquers All - 1990)

Not all scars are visible...the toughest ones to deal with are those you cannot see...it's hard to know how to approach someone with emotional scars...the risk is being pushed away when you want to help. All you can do is be there when they understand you're there to help, no questions asked...no reward desired.

A good write, Phill.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Thanks Ted - I can relate to your reflective review - :-)

Imagining scars, buried deep inside memories and emotions is incredibly profound. Showcasing a true vulnerability, something worse than physical pain. Your words are precious. Much love!

This is unconditional love, maybe romantic or just platonic, but love nonetheless. This touched me. As someone deceived and hurt by a close loved one, I felt the sincerity and warmth of your words. Thank you for sharing this poem.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

A kind review my friend … so glad you could relate … :-)

[Stella Armour]

A friend indeed to recognise that scars take a long to time to heal, in appearance they fade but under the layers still they bleed...
Patience and unending love is just what the heart doctor prescribes

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Thank you Stella - your comments are spot on … :-)
