Stagger To Stay; by Brianna Bragg

Two love birds in the arms of lust and love.

spread wide open 
sprawled across the bed 
my life story stained on my chest.
wonder who I am?
wonder where I’m from?
so do I.
I do,
same as you,
this wondering game 
we made up.

 

tit for tat 
we giggle together, 
wondering who 
we are,
hindering further our existence.
whom do we go to?
where shall we run 
when wandering eyes 
start to 
wonder, too?

 

and where to reside 
my love? 
will you be that to me 
even so?
though all hell will have broken 
upon that small rock of word 
love? 
stay by me 
will you?
how shall we remain 
but fragile our lives 
run together?
please not in vein.

 

 

hold fast to the feeling,
of skin against skin.
be it hand in hand,
or my chest pressed to yours. 
our hearts beat together.
always will be,
as my hand beckons for yours 
be not afraid,
nor alone.
I’m right next to you,
beside you,
inside you.
all through you. 
as you have penetrated my soul 
so have I mounted a protective force,

for yours.

 

my love will linger.
days in and days out 
I’ll wait.
we’ll not separate. 
steadfast truth holds us,
in bonds of sweet bliss.
guiding us ever 
forward.
life is worth living,
and love comes with life.
so here I will stand,
through all they can throw at us,
never to part.
as I stagger- 
yet stay,

deep,
in your heart.

 

true if buried deep in your soul 
or deep beneath dirt 
out of the depths, 
continuous growth 
of something 
that no one 
only the universe can invoke. 
time will stand still,
and come to adhere. 
to know 
and to understand 
why I hold you so dear.
out of these phrases,
not alone 
but compiled with others,
people will know 
that I love you.
and will 
for always 
and forever.

Very beautiful and poignant...
Actually, this piece speaks 'for' me to someone I dearly love...so many of the passages speak to me as well.

[Christina-Marie]

Great work. Im inspired, wish I wrote half as good at this..

[Constance]

Beautiful. How lucky the one who inspires this, or who will. My favorite stanzas are the first and last.
I love the simplicity.
