Those Arms

Those Arms

A Poem by Natalie C
"

Something different, tell me if this works

"

 

She cautiously set foot on foreign ground

Delicate little toes buried deep within heaven’s sand 

Anticipating, the encounter awaiting

Just like fate had planned


Always caring arms, open and inviting

Calling her long forgotten name

 

Scanning random faces

For a sign of a destiny, waiting

Wandering the carnival of mixed souls

Knowing exactly where to go

 

To those inviting arms, open and waiting

Luring her closer with preciously sweet rhymes

 

Body tired, running

Towards a long awaited release

Fighting her way through a humanly maize

Searching the corridors of no compromise

 

For promised arms, open and strong

Desiring to take away all the wrongs

 

Remembering dreaming

What his touch would be like

Being enfolded by promises

She only kept for sanity’s sake

 

The thought of those protective arms, continuously waiting  

Brought her here today

 

Acid burnt cheeks finally believed

That the end was near

The end to a lifetime of misery

Giving a wonderful meaning to a better day

 

As those awaiting arms, kept calling
Taunting tired chambers inside her mind



Faster and faster she went
Wiping out sacred scriptures in the sand
Then frantically calling
Desperately battling, body restraining


From those enticing arms, waiting seductively
Whispering on the way through the darkened night


Only to sorrowfully find
She had wandered from sand to no man’s land
Returning to a legacy
Long time planned.

It is new yes, but i think it's good.
I see growth in this direction will only prove to be fruitful.
Try using it not in only romance though, I think you will find some pleasant things will find their way through your muse. But then again it could just be a crap shoot cause we are simply talking in "Meta" aspect.
Yeah. :)
Good write though.
