The Flower and the Wind

I would have wiped your tears away, my sweet,
And locked them within the vault of despair
To never see the light of day, again.
I would have held you close and wait to see
The precious smile that lights your very eyes.
A sweet lily, you brighten every field
And I lament you were not in my vase.
So now, I sit in my despair and rue,
Knowing my sweet lily wept in the cold.
I curse those bold and icy, bitter winds
That dare to strike those cheeks that I delight
Because I, myself, was not those very winds.
Were I the wind, I would caress your hair
With the warm breeze of kisses and revel
In the velvet softness of your skin.
I, the wind, long for the pale, moonlit nights
When the lunar rays basque in the glory,
The beauty of a lover so divine,
So magnificent, I dare say that God
Designed your heart and soul in sync with mine.
When you're alone, I too feel loneliness,
I too wither away in the shadows,
Forever falling in the deep abyss
Waiting to feel its hands tear me apart.
I long, I long to visit the garden
Where my sweet flower rests and waits for me
To gaze forever at her sweet petals
And never leave her in the cold, again.

I understand the standing for something greater than what is seen meaning, such as "My Heart Wants You In Its Possession." Hopefully one day you'll get your wish, only you and her in an Eden all your own, past the scarring of a life. If you dream, don't lose the dream, because when you do, only the pain of a reality not best suited to your needs is what you'll feel, but when the dream is alive even with reality inside, that's when you can hold on and be okay, be sane, be vulnerable to what you most want without true fear of rejection. So many times you point blank say it, but do people get it? Who and what you're speaking of?

Its soo beautiful and full of love and passion with every sentence and every word. I feel it as something that anyone could experience if one loved so dearly another.

A quality write, a lot of 'love power' in there, if this was for a young lady that you know then she would be swept away with the words. Top draw.

It will take me a few more than one reading to fully understand this piece but I get the gist of it (love). such a difficult thing to pin down. Course all of the metaphors due indeed hint at something on a much larger scale and they certainly touch on pain. Very well done...!

Great picture. Love can be sweet.

I do believe someone has went on a writing spree and it's not myself.
Each one of these holds symbolism and are entirely sweet in their own ways. How you describe it makes it feel real. Like it's there for us to touch if we just reach.

Great write.
