He appeared at my bedside yet again, His eyes an ethereal blue, Filled with concern and sorrow… He spoke to me as I faked my slumber, I watch his shadow upon my pale brown wall, While he said how he wished he could be seen, Be heard and to be listened to by me…

He cried his sorrows to me as the clock ticked ever so slowly. Every night I awaited his arrival and when my cream curtains shifted, so did my breathing. My heart ached for him, for him to understand, that I too know his sorrow… Even so, he continued to speak…  

He started with the same words every time, “I’ve always been the one to protect you, Nevertheless, I may be in need of protection soon… From the heartache I feel every time I cannot hold you… Every time, I cannot look you in the eyes and say ‘I love you! ‘Every second of every day that I cannot be with you…”

His voice floated in the air as I listened to his repetitive harmony. I had already memorized each angelic feature, each shade of light to his shadow…
He always seemed to continue with, “Even if my heart breaks, you are still the light to my darkness, the stars to my night, and the gravity that holds my sanity.” He always sighed this with his head held in his hands.

I have wondered. However, I had never ventured beyond the slumber that sheltered me. Never able or rather, never courageous enough to do so. No… I would never find out, but at least I knew that, you are the comfort to this pain, the soul to this body And the love to this heart…

His words and body language had been imprinted on my mind, his grin that played on his lips, those dimples that caused my mind to go high.
Although, each time our eyes meet, my heart fluttered, my stomach filled with reawakened butterflies and all I heard was the song to his voice, the melody to his movement and the tune of our synchronized heartbeats as the seconds passed us by. My ears rang with each glance; my heart escaped its cage with each thought. Yet his smile was what made my toes curl and my nose wrinkle when it appeared.

His voice played music and that smile offered a dance when seen. I gladly accepted every time. As we swayed left, then right, and left, again… time slowed to a standstill. Laughter filled the air and he caused my heart to enter my throat with each note to his song, but time never stops for anyone, so we had to apart.
Although, my heart prayed, begged for another song to be sung, another dance to be done. Alas, the moonlight was bright and the stars were my comfort, until we said our last good nights… for his kiss upon my cheek was my delight.

not a poem, but i still love this piece i wrote a while back!
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Each characters story and adventure has,
Not the same plot,
However, the same emotions.
Their laughter fills my air,
Their first kisses make my lips tingle,
Their happiness leaves a constant smile upon my face,

Their wit and courage bring tears to my eyes,
Their fears and ambitions make reality seem plain boring,
Their delay of reactions and disorientation's help to remind me that their only human...
Everything about them seems so real,
That when they concur obstacles beyond their abilities
All I can do is smile knowing that I had the faith to continue reading their tale.

When words were my only comfort.

The flame to this fearsome beast, shifts with the wind,
This flame in our darkness, glows until unable,
The flame to this monster, changes from hope to despair in seconds
This flame is as humans are…
Destructive, yet inspirational.

eagle
i am
the
one who
was created to breathe the atmosphere
of the angels and ride the storm clouds like
they were white horses, yes, i was made to catch
rainbows in my sharp talons, i who am strong will
catch your fall.       You who are weak          will trust me
for i want                nothing more than             to be your
Savior.                              I will hide you                              under
my                        ­             wings. You will                                    be
mine and i
will never
leave you nor
forsake you. Ever.
World without end


AMEN

If I were beautiful, would you love me more?
If I were magical, would i be the only one you'd adore?
If I were boisterous, would you laugh until unable?
If I were settled, would you feel more stable?

If I were spontaneous, would we have an adventure?
If I was fast-reacting, would our life move in a blur?
If I were lonely, would you kiss me at the kissing booth?
If I were mysterious, would you want to know the truth?

If I was rude, would you think of cursing?
If I wasn't me, would you fall for this person?
If I were me, would you want to be my joy?
If I were me, would i be more than your toy?

If I was optimistic, would you seal the deal?
If you had empathy, would you feel what I feel?
If I were a star, would you see how you make me shine?
If I were your love, would you see beyond the lie "I'm Fine."

I no longer had the words,
I felt vulnerable and unarmed
My heart ached and was constantly alarmed
As if, my fight ended with the destruction of my swords

Treasure were within the reach of my trembled nerves
Severed footsteps on hallow ground,
Walked along the narrowed corridor curves,
Ran further and further away, screaming without saying a sound.
