Familiar

For a special someone no longer close to me.

Your presence has 
A familiar taste 
Next to you is like 
I'm closer to myself 
Just the sight of you 
And all my defences are down 
I’m lighter and true 
Naked to my bones 
And it feels so good 
To finally be home 
To feel understood 
And truly loved 
I’m finally at peace 
Life can race outside 
I’m in comfort and bliss 
Resting in your arms 
I feel so much strength 
Emerging from inside of me 
Like some kind of spell 
As magic as can be

It’s the tone of your voice 
Whispering to my ear 
That without an effort 
Just silence my fear 
It’s the conversations 
On the beauty around 
That appease my questions 
And brighten my world 
It’s a feeling of happiness 
That I thought couldn’t be reached 
It’s like we were blessed 
It’s like heaven exists 
It’s like together 
Life is so easy 
Like it makes us better 
And breaks us free

We meet in our dreams 
For a better place 
You’re bringing me wings 
With your sole embrace 
And your face is like 
The sweetest picture to me 
Your eyes being the doors 
To our sanctuary 
A smile on your lips 
Is all it takes 
A taste of your kiss 
Fills me with grace 
And I hardly believe 
We were put here together 
That the world I breathe in 
Would carry you ever 
Knowing you’re alive 
Makes this place worth living in 
Sharing your time 
Was worth waiting 

It’s like you're familiar 
Making life so easy 
You could make me better 
You could make me happy

"It’s like your familiar
Making life so easy
You could make me better
You could make me happy"

{you have a very intrinsic grasp on expression:-)}

"Your presence has
A familiar taste"

For a better place
You’re bringing me wings
With your sole embrace"

Waw
How beautiful can you get ?!
I am your fan :)

[Bridgett]

I really love it. :D The way your express the connection between two soulmates is interesting.

[Sara Mercury]

Yet another poem expressing the soul mate connection. However, as a means to help ... "It's like your familiar" should be, "It's like you're familiar." "Your" should be "you're," since it's a contraction for "you are" in that context.

[Dream Weaver]

Powerful and endearing piece.
great flow throughout. Very
solid with a great feel Claire.
Nicely done.

[Antonio Valentino]

Claire, this was one of most beautiful things I've read in a long time. Your writing, like this friend you describe, is so calming... everything seems to quiet down when I read you, all of the deep breaths I've forgot to exhale our let go, a smile rises over the horizon of my face, and calm holds me, soft and safe.

I so loved this.

I will be rereading this poem, when days run heavy and nights are lone.
