breathe
you said –
just close your eyes
– wrap your love
in mine
linger now in places
we’ve become
a blessedness
that needs not work
or words of understanding
so we are –
revealing us as one
slow
you said –
and even now
reminded I to breathe
as life
constrained to verses –
curs’ed rhyme
has searched me out
with empty hands
this heart where still you know –
changed the locks
but let the windows
swing
still
you said –
and such I am
made sweeter for the ways
– for paths I walked
barefoot and alone
decide for me a destiny
would test my faith
to fall
to close my eyes –
with reason here
to fly
love
you said –
. . .

Could all of this been said any better ? I think not ! That’s all I have to say. ~always~
Paul
Well, things could always be better………but at that moment, no – this is the best of all we know. Always, you warm my heart, dear Paul. I’m betting you’re already thinking of the beach……… 🙂 Won’t be long, my dear one. ~ Love ever, Bobbie
I’m always thinking of the beach !!! Right from the first frost of autumn, until I can feel the sand between my toes, and the sun on my back. =];>)
Your writing brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful words
I pray they are sweet tears, dearest Deana. You humble me with your kindness. What a blessing you are. ~ Love always, Bobbie
delicate and so sweet Bobbie!
Thank you so much, my precious Soumyav. I’m touched (always) by your graces. ~ Love, Bobbie
Delicious penning, Bobbie….
hugs
e
…….sweet kind thank-yous are blown across the night ……… ever, eric ~ thank you ~ love, me
…with gusto
one thing you will never get more
by holding on
so we did
and the earth shook much wilder
words felt much stronger
pain drained and floated away
a feather on the winds of change
faint touch of comfort
warmth to anyone searching
point the way
will may sway
🙂
I love this, Vimal………..I especially like the line ‘and the earth shook much wilder’……. Indeed, regardless the depth of the darkness, silence stirs to life within a flame shared, and winds are reminded of why they came. Thank you, my dear friend. ~ Love always, Bobbie
you’re welcome 🙂
Especially liked “decide for me a destiny”
Thank you, Peter. Wasn’t it Emerson who said ‘The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.’ Contrary to some romantic notions, choice (not chance) decides our destiny(s). Even what we view as chance, when truly understood, is but the offspring created in moments of will. Truly, thank you. ~ Always love, Bobbie
Emerson was a wise man …
indeed 😉
Love’s pure energy ripples through every line, touching the very fiber of being while blessing the heart with a memorable and enjoyable moment to dance within your amazingly beautiful thoughts…such a very nice and wonderful place to be! So wonderfully penned!!!!!
