My Lover

You should know the world is cruel.

It bleeds good dry;

Destroys valiant souls

Inserts fear where courage once was.

As devastating as life can be,

You are the cliche that

keeps my heart beating.

Your laugh is the relief in a thousand

  sighs - your smile outshines the sun.

Your fingers intertwined with mine:

they are my safety, my anchor,

  my courage to find love.

I can feel your eyes follow me

as I walk among a crowd -

I forget to breathe when I

see that you've taken your barriers

down;

your face is exquisite -

Your eyes demand my truth -

the kiss of your lips heal all my wounds.

You are my forever cliche,

trapped in the beauty of the moon.

I enjoyed this poem. Had feel of the ancient writers and the words. Truthful and wise.

Thank you!! Im so glad the ending worked out. My original ending lines didnt flow or make a whole lot of sense, so I definitely worried about that. Im glad you enjoyed my poetry :)

A courageous heart beating... Exquisite tears on a face behind a barrier of truth... Like a kiss to heal the wound, this soothed my eyes upon reading... Nicely penned...

Damn. Coming down out off those very same feelings, it really reverberates with me. I mean, in a sad way, but what is the purpose of poetry if not to make one feel?
