Love

By butch

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Lying here in the darkness your breathing settles me A moments fright chased away by the nearness of you The days close confrontations come back to haunt me I then realize, I need you I've always needed you..... Love is a flower; that when it blooms the world around brightens It's blossom is the beginning of the magic on which we survive Once we taste the fruit, we will never be the same We spend our lives in search of it's fragrant beauty..... If I awaken and you are not there I cannot return to slumber The comfort you give to me is all I need in the night To be near you gives the strength I need to face the world The surrender I feel with you is my release from reality..... To be in love is a change that begins in the heart Your breathe taken, by the memory of single moments Your thoughts held up by someone you barely know Your life forever directed to new and strange feelings.....
