Carry My Heart

Time makes love

Light like fire

The flames burn

With such a sensual glow

That only from friendship

Love may grow,

We've waited many years

To come together

And without you realizing

You have washed away many tears,

You have carried to my heart

And placed upon my face

Such joy and laughter

I truly embrace,

Wherever this may lead

I know not yet

But I'm willing to follow

However far these feelings may go.

The worst thing to do in a relationship is to rush. Being friends first is always recommended. Things take time in a relationship to grow and being at ease with someone is always a better feeling. This is a good example of such combination of friendship and love. Nice writing from you Tarry.

You're welcome Tarry.

Leading a friendship into a relationship can be make or break, it may be the best decision you ever make; however it may not be quite right for the two of you. This poem is perfect in length and flow, it is informal, a feature I struggle with in my writes - that I commend you on! I can imagine this read slowly and softly, almost as a Shakespherian soliloquy! Nice work Tarry :)

Once again tarry you've captured my feelings exactly ... in the words of Popeye. "Very romantical."

[Tarry Franck]

Glad I could - love the connection you and I have :)

[A Soapy Mess Stories]

Lol!

Can a friend be more than a friend without that friendship being doomed?
I pray that 'carry my heart' doesn't become 'bury my heart' Tarry.
This is a fine poem that I would be proud to have written
Well done

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much Anto

This is sublime and soothing...I like the way that you allow the words to linger a little, which I think is a good metaphor for a strong relationship. We must let the tea steep before we drink it, you know? Love the sentiment and emotion here; so intrinsically honest. I do hope the best for this budding bloom...

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so very much :)
