I pour out my heart to you in hopes of a bond

you turn on me like a tiger in lurch for the prey

how can your heart be so stone cold as ice

I expose my soul and you squash my heart

I merely wanted a dance with you in kind

love is not a word that jails your heart

rather one that captures each of our senses

to last a lifetime of eternitys

To bring to heightened awareness and awe

to sleep with a safe place to fall all night long

how can three of the smallest, simplest words

cause such a stir of confusion and irrational fear?

Three small words, are not meant to bring you down

yet rather to lift you to new heights to soar

free within the knowledge that someone adores

all that is the essence of your total embodiment

My heart leapt free and openly to engage you

words impact and impart a special meaning

to all that exists between spaces of

 torrid languishing and

 merely coffee with the morning paper 

If I'm not important enough to speak the truth

walk out the door and let me find the true meaning

stop tugging on my heart strings with your charms

my feminine wiles are not at play here

I'm not trying to trap the great white hunter

I feel your lips but not the warmth of contentment

just wanted to tie our hearts together with a note

that sky write the three little words that fall into you

yet written in the sky

 or in the sand it disappears

Time will not erase what's in my heart, 

so I say those 

three little words.... 

 can't wait forever 

for one of us to come to our senses

  

come onto me, ruffle my ears, trace my heart 

whisper it...

Love can be a terrifying word when its always comes with such pain. Yet here you plead its case, make it out to be nice and innocent and I love that. This is how love should be yet too often it is as you say, the one you love turns on you and stomps on your heart. I can clearly see both sides of love here. Awesome write yet again Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Love this review, thanks so much, wasn't sure if it computed, so much I wanted to say, but you read me right, that's always a good feeling.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Welcome :)

Frieda, this is epic in its laments...one of the most unabashedly emotional pieces I've read from you, which is saying something...this emotion has a way of resonating with me when it's captured so sensitively...incredible...

[Frieda P]

Awh, thanks, your review is epic!!

[kublakhan27]

My pleasure Frieda...if that is the case, it had to inspired by an epic piece :)

[LA Lorena]

I like this Frieda, you are showing a subtlety that I have not seen before in your writes, and I am liking it. Maybe I am biased, as you know I love subtle and nuanced phrasing, but I really do like this.

Afetr your poem last night, I was half expecting those three words to be different, but the spacing does not allow for what I thought. :) That's good. It leaves me fodder for a new poem I feel ready to drip from my pen.

[Frieda P]

ha subtlety, can I have that in writing? Glad you liked it, wasn't sure if it would work or not...can't wait to see what you come up with now....

"come onto me, ruffle my ears, trace my heart "
I enjoyed the complete poem. I like the desire to be in the dance and know the emotion of love. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.

[Frieda P]

Ah, you picked my favorite, thanks so much Coyote!

[Lily Mae]

There's two things going on here for me.. One this is such a deep heartfelt want and desire to be noticed...to be experienced as the you, you love and then there's the smart a*s in me that hasn't slept in days that says.. "you know I want you but it's the distance"... ;) As always Freida, no matter what genre..you are magic..xo

[Frieda P]

ha is that what brings out the smartass in us, lack of sleep? Thanks for your lovely review...magic, wooo ;-)

[Lily Mae]

I say it like it is magic woman..xo

[Frieda P]

You ain't too shabby yourself my friend. ;-) xo

[Ayvid N]

I sense such a sadness in the plea. This touching poem further convices me that true love never lasts and one of the two is always left mouth agape eys widened heart blowstruck.
I compliment you for perfectly wording the feelings of loss...

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your sympathetic review Divya, we're quite the pair eh? ;-)

[Ayvid N]

[Frieda P]

I want a piece of your brain. Lol ;-)

[Ahmad Cox]

Aww Very alluring and sad yet hopeful and beautiful at the same time.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Ahmad, I love that word alluring...

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

I find your verse has a characteristic ripeness of plot, and clash of drama that I find intriguing.

It borders for me on the human, confessional and subliminal planes.

[Frieda P]

ha I do confessional so well, thanks.
