LET WORDS CARESS YOUR HEART

LET WORDS CARESS YOUR HEART

My imagination has been running wild.
I had no choice but to run and hide.
Too shy to engage,
knotted in an emotional twist;
I seek asylum amidst the ink on this page.
May my emotions keep me at bay
and let me bestow the words gently
on this bed of ashen white.
Frighten my insecurities
and chase away the seldom
spoken words from my mind,
laying dormant inside;
expel them from my infinite thoughts
and strike romance upon the canvas.
Let sincerity imbue the letters with emotion,
let them embody my devotion.

I am in every breath you breathe,
in every word you read;
caressing your mind
as thoughts run through your head.
I weave words like silk threads
into the fabric of your body and soul.
You succumb and ignite a colour so bright, so…
This parchment screams the colour red!
Red like the passion in which we bathe,
red as the tip of Romeo’s blade.
It invades your very core with feelings of love,
leaving you wanting more.
You are no longer just another;
you are my Venus de Milo to adore.
I hope this message reaches you and remains true,
for it sends adoration from my soul.

What was once mine, is now yours.

Amazing devotion, and a sharing of emotion in the form of words divine. It doesn't matter how secretive we are with our feelings, they always find a way out with words on a blank page. We find our comfort in writing them down and then touching the hearts and minds of our readers.

It's an amazing poem, flows very beautifully and touches the right spots. I can't give it any less than 100%, and make it a favourite :)

Frighten my insecurities
and chase away the seldom
spoken words from my mind,

expel them from my infinite thoughts
and strike romance upon the canvas.

This not only addresses a beloved, but speaks of the writers devotion to his craft and his readers as well-at least in my eyes.

"Frighten my insecurities
and chase away the seldom
spoken words from my mind,
laying dormant inside;
expel them from my infinite thoughts
and strike romance upon the canvas.
Let sincerity imbue the letters with emotion,
let them embody my devotion."

It is a gift of love, delivered, signed and sealed by a great mind living in a multi-dimensional body. "What was once mine, is now yours."

This poem is to me Ivan, is a doublespeak of devotion to both "saviors"; the one being words written by the hand of necessity "on this bed of ashen white" and the other, the "romance upon the canvas". A powerful tribute to love and healing. Quite an excellent read and write. But now for the arithmetic-100..!

This has a timeless quality to it that's really wonderful. It shows an intense desire to give everything you are to another person which is a very worthy quality. Excellent writing as always.
