Your Sanctuary

Allow her to be
Your sanctuary
Where the walls
Stand strong
And true

Where a loving heart
Waits patiently
To envelop
With ardent notes

Allow her smile
To light up the night
Vanish darkness
Shattering doubt

Where shadows fade
Under an amber glow
Relaxing the days chaos
A beacon of hope

Allow her arms
To encompass you
Giving a sense of peace
When all seems lost

Where the world
Melts away
And reverie takes over
Incinerating confusion

Beautiful and positive poetry shared dear poet.
"Allow her smile
To light up the night
Vanish darkness
Shattering doubt"
We need the light of love and kindness. I liked the complete poem and the above lines were my favorite. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

All of us need a partner that is a place to feel safe and loved even when the outside world is a battering hurricane.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend.

[Relic]

That last stanza is great. the sanctuary of that kind of love is the place I want to be. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Me too! Life takes many twist and turns along the way but hopefully one day.

[Sami Khalil]

Love truly is a great sanctuary from this harsh and unloving world. It makes things meaningful and encompassing. Your beautiful poem says it all.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is how I believe real lol be is. Maybe that is me being romantic and all but what can I say...

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are welcome.

[Perdition]

For me it's more like the night itself or the moon..that silence when the world is asleep and you are free to strum that guitar or play that song as loud as you want...a bath or a piano recital at three ayem. I like to think that if it were a person then i would hold those qualities for them but Leo and all..lol. Wonderful piece. Thanks for the read.

[Poetic Beauty]

That’s the beauty about poetry...perspective allows people to connect personally to the piece. While this is actual about being his sanctuary when his world is in chaos. Your take on it is beautiful as well. Thank you for reading

[Perdition]

No..I'm pretty sure it's about the night or the moon...lol. Yep..I do love that about poetry as well..course the three ayem piano recitals are mostly me playing chopsticks to the reigning crickets..but I think they dig it. Smiles and my pleasure!

We poets, artist and mAdhatter types seems to come alive and the ideas come alive at night

[Misterr Remeat]

Very good read. Excellent!

[Lorry]

Beautifully captured.
Whether you are with them, doing the most mundane of things, or absent through work or any other number of reasons, It is the person that fills your thoughts that makes getting through the day and returning to them, feel like an extra layer of internal warmth and that wry smile each time they cross your mind.
A difference of a house becoming home and knowing they are awaiting your return with the same smile and warmth.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you understood this piece love should be a partnership a safe place to fall on those days filled with noise and rat race living.

[Lorry]

And we gotta make the most of it when it is.

[Poetic Beauty]

Enjoy it while we have it exactly

[Enigma]

Simply reading this somehow creates a sense of peace in my mind. Bit by bit and piece by piece, your words somehow unburden the hearts and minds. Beautifully written!

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you liked this poem. We all need love and comfort.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem explains why we "fall" in love. It makes you just want to let go and have no fear
of trusting another. It's beautiful how a touch could be everything. You've tapped into one
of the purest forms of caring. Romance is not dead.

[Madeleine Celeste]

This is love. So gently and kindly crafted, with little bits of first love and lasting love. I adore this.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I think people should be a sanctuary for each other

[emmajoy]

Each and every one of your stanzas is finely said.. but the one below means most to me: tis warm, caring, sharing, protecting: - 'Allow her arms ~ To encompass you ~ Giving a sense of peace ~ When all seems lost .. '

You have such a gentle heart and hands when you place poems in front of us - this is no exception.. tis beautiful. Thank you..

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for your kind words nd words. At the end of the day when the world is harsh our loves should be a soft place to land.

[emmajoy]

they should, of course.. that's what sharing is...
