Too Strong To Fall(Too Tough To Stand)

  

I see the eye of the hurricane

whenever we get into a staring contest.

 

In these moments it is like being frozen in time

like a fly caught in a spider’s web.

 

I never struggle to get free

instead simply pretend I am in a cocoon.

 

Every time you stand your ground

I feel mine getting sturdier.

 

Huff and puff with all your might

my lung capacity just keeps getting larger.

 

Your unstoppable force meeting

my immoveable object

keeps our structure from falling either way

making these walls earthquake proof

even though we put each other six feet under.

[written in blood]

the strength within is all ready powerful, when you add another into the equation who is willing to stand tall with you makes you that more invincible.

So very true, thank you.

Two headstrong people...you capture the tension perfectly. And this poem is very true. They will never back down, even in death. Awesome poem! :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Woo, sounds like a volatile relationship, the earth has to quake sooner or later. Love the metaphors, weather always sweeps it together nicely, especially in the eye of this kind of typhoon. Great one Dale.

Thank you so much... most storms are harmless but the destructive ones pop in now and them, that includes emotional storms.

Great description ! Mates...stubborn, headstrong, will they weather this challenge that all relationships encounter?

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You know what they say, men are from Mars, women are from Venus... thank you.

Ah, opposites attract! I like the force behind this poem, it's a driving factor behind the thought. Always a pleasure to read you!

The Cafe has changed a lot. But it's nice to read the exceptional and beautiful work of an old friend. You still have great flowing ink.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much.

You've captured a volatile relationship with exceptionally brilliant words, Dale...I love that last stanza especially.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much kimmer, I value your feedback.

[KAOlmsted]

I have first hand knowledge of this...it hit me. Sometimes we put too much stock in the fairy tale. I learned a long time ago not to do that. This is life. We fight. We swear under our breaths at each other. Sometimes we say it out loud. The question remains...stick it out or train another one ;-)

Seriously...great write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for the great feedback.

[KAOlmsted]

My pleasure.

Strong metaphoric language here. And there is a great message throughout. But that last stanza had some serious power behind it; two stubborn titans. better to die/ than to love each other. Evocative.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You make an interesting observation. Unfortunately I think some people do feel that way. Thank you sir.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

such a strident impassioned poem which really does keep the reader on the edge, very well done

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much.
