Are You With Me?

bc-durden Poems

Are you with me? Endless nights of sleeplessness, My mind wanders over your body. Not in the sense of the stereotypical But rather in a sense of closeness. I sit tonight and pray, Pray for a happy heart. The feelings I bear for you Will not be compromised by a past. Are you with me? The Sadness in my soul Is ever lingering, Ever with me. Like my hair You find so humorous, The scars of my heart Can only be hidden for so long. Are you with me? There is a summer rain sprinkling Over an ocean as vast as time. I would gladly give it to you, But you must be ready. Like the sea, My ocean can be fierce. It can rage and storm, But it harbors life and beauty. You are my moon, A gravitational force That pulls my ocean towards you, Controlling it's tides. Are you with me? Like the Physics You so diligently work, I too require diligence. I care nothing of The attributes you find flaws in. To me, those are “flaws” to be Touched, Kissed, Caressed, And held. What I do care for, Are your thoughts, And your soul. To me, those are to be Loved, Cherished, Nourished, And Exalted. Are you with me? Contrary to popular belief, I am no reader of minds. I must be told about your thoughts. Do not take your mind lightly, For it is a beautiful thing. I long to know what passes through it. Are you with me? Diligence means being Unconditional and unrestricted. Speak your thoughts openly and honestly, That is the only thing I ask of you. I desire to make the world yours. To take care of you and be with you, But only in exchange For your freedom of self. Are you with me?
