love me, please love me
take my fool heart in hand
tame the tough earth
where i stand,
hold on to my soul
my wanting sweet heart
be still all the lies and the grand;
whisper my dreams
aloud where i hear
the possible tone in the night,
over fright filled false essence
of man gone too wrong
of strength given out to warped might;
grab my fist, match my step
just one stride ahead
clearing the bone hewn dark way,
stopping unyielding flow
of that poisonous doubt
and aged rancid need
where i lay.
cradle my head
in those soft made strong hands
wipe away tears with your own,
see the awesome sweet truth
through this backbone of steel
through the quaking scared lies
of the lone.
Your poems are beautiful. I loved the title to this one in particular, and my heart responded to the imagery.
Thank you so much!
