I reach out in stillness..

Be still your beating heart
For in sleep I am not gone
tho' words may batter, on innocent hands
deep I feel this tender bond.

I reach out for you in stillness..
yet, struggling through many a hand
they touch you in places, I can not
it leaves weaken, this broken man.

Our time together is never long
but within those moments spent
I have lived a lifetime in your love
warmed in your offerings, lent.

You many never fully understand...
I shelter my love, but for an eager few
one thing is certain, one thing is sure
my heart, forever belongs to you.

My mouth choked with your hope
on words that do not flow with ease
In dreams, we have laid down in tall grass along the babbling brook
with you, in you, I am eager to please

I chatter my offerings in short approach
but these things should take a lifetime to achieve
knowing our time draws quickly on stolen minutes
when granted your love's distant reprieve.

So be hush in your heart sullen
I am still waiting, on your forgive
a chastened heart, longing in you
your perfect love I can never outlive

Oh, my heart!..
You, Mr Inkslinger, turn my knees to jelly, raise my blood pressure, swiftly melt me into a quivering puddle with your astonishing, loving, tender, romantic, sentimental written creations...you may very well be a health hazard!!

You are truly a beautiful poet. This poem speaks to the heart of people. It tells me that yes I have lost you but we will meet again and I will find you in the presence of many things as I make the rest of my journey.
