If I ask you…
Will you lie with me
share a moment
without expectations
only our feelings
connected?
Will you keep me warm
be soothed by my
breathing
no distractions
only heartbeats
in perfect rhythm?
If I ask you…
Will you lie with me
and listen
clear my mind
be my pillow
my lover and friend?
If I ask,
will you?

(Sharing some old romance)
♥
You’re a never ending roller coaster ride
taking me to the highest level of contentment
and then soaring downhill together
to my lowest moments of worry
You sit with me through plummeting tears
as my sadness whispers uncontrollably
and I’m forever wishing the answers
would arrive soon all wrapped up and pretty
You are compassionate, so I give you
my trials that steal sleep from me in the night
now bringing peace to my emotions and
calming the control I no longer want
Whether the road is smooth or uneven
You’ll always have a special place
in the pocket resting beside my heart
and I’ll never let you drift away

The edge is inches away
One more step would be easy
Is your heart ready to fall
into forever and loyalty?
A soft landing is predicted
but there is no guarantee
bumps won’t occur with the
need for Band-Aids and Chablis
Persuasion is not my style
I want you to want me
So with endless devotion
will you help nurture our journey?
I see you in my tomorrows
and everything in between
Let’s take a leap of faith
with an everlasting warranty

I heard about this poetry form, Cinquain, during one of my visits to http://purplesplatitudes.wordpress.com. If you get the chance, stop by Michael’s blog. His writing is wonderful and he ventures into different poetry forms and emotions. I know you won’t be disappointed!
I would definitely call these “rough drafts” and more practicing is in the future, but I hope you enjoy…♥
When they were Young
Giggles,
barefoot on cool
grass, swinging in summer
breeze, smiles bigger than Texas state
the past
Diagnosis
Covered
ears with shaky
hands, unbelievable
echoes of pain flow in and out
fear not?
Chocolate
Craving
comfort food, oh,
something creamy sounds good
gooey, sinfully delicious
dark, though

We were rising, riding to the top with
patches of green below. I could
have almost touched the sky. My skin
warmed with each look from the blue
in your eyes. You looked at me with
devotion, but you had something up
your sleeve. Our life’s path was about
to change; an anticipated detour for both
hearts. Nothing would ever be the same,
in a good way, like the fairytale that
replayed in my dreams. This place was
enchanting, so close to Heaven, where flowers
bloomed and time stood still and God gave
His blessing. The bubbly was on standby,
I didn’t know at the time…for this was where
you asked me to be your Wife, to share each
high, low, day and night and where you said
those three sweet words
to me for Life.
We’ll hold each other close
with our hearts beating in sync
Their rhythm will do the rocking
while we drift into sleep
Cloud floating is what we need
to relax our bodies and mind
Creating dreams of only hope,
to the dark not being resigned
When the light awakens us
let our story’s ending be different
but if reality hasn’t changed,
guide us forward without ignorance

Just yesterday, the score was even
but now I see you’re in the lead.
I apologize for my lack of
attention to the rules
or understanding a clearer
strategy. I was never the
best at playing games.
You were so much
better than me.
You had me fooled with
your moves sweet as
honey, though, I still feel like
a winner in the best of
reality. They say hind-sight
is twenty-twenty and now
I believe it to be so. For
with or without you, I’m
no longer feeling empty
and you are now nothing
but a bitter memory.

Maybe one day we’ll understand why
then again, life isn’t black and white
It’s not kind and it’s not fair
sometimes, very hard to bear
Walls will crumble now and then
but the sun will shine once again
We need to trust in Him for strength
keeping fear at arm’s length
He’ll guide us through the blues
on this journey we didn’t choose
In our hearts, hope will stay alive
and in prayer we will thrive
