Cherish You

And sometimes the inspiration comes from old lines in the written poems of my heart..

“Cherish You”

I lay here wanting
Wondering
Puzzling about inside my head
How it is I managed you
Outfought the damaged you
And somehow found the 
So very close to marriage you
Laying here next to me
Inside the battlefield of love
That is our bed
I sigh happily and so deeply
Drawing in a soulful breath
As I curl your sheet-less leg
About my very own
How is it I managed you
And have kept you from
Your greatest doubter " 
The embarrassed you
Your mind an unstable ladder
Thoughts so frantic, so flurried
A doorway to disaster
That would " once opened
Only seek to vanish you
And set free the fury of
The embattled you
Wanting to perish you
And that’s precisely when I
Place my hand in your own
Press my lips to you in a sweet kiss
And we share the soulful air
Consume the fears
Breathing softly away
All the worries and doubt
That do not cherish you
That do not bandage you
I will not abandon you!
Not ever! Not Now!
I will not walk away from you
Should you falter
Should you Fall
I shall reach down
I shall carry you
Until the doorway you see
Is the one that leads
Away from doubt and to me
I will carry you
I will bandage you
I will cherish you
And then marry you
In the magic moment of 
Our own storybook ending
A fairy tale wedding
In the wisps of the Willows
In our garden of Fall

What a way you have with deeds. They reflect their strengths within the lines of this poem. A person to have and hold and never let go. A garden of love that resists temptation of letting go, when the goings get tough. A powerful poem that promises nothing but true self-sacrifice.

Aw, well, thanks. I particularly like this one just because I ventured into sort of unfamiliar rhythm than I am accustomed.. but what is it? New beginnings happen for a reason and I felt like starting fresh with this. I hadn't written in so long. It felt good to find the groove. Thanks again for reading and commenting!

Self-sacrifice.. if only everyone thought of love that way!
