Pleading

A Poem by Phonetics

Stay.

I am begging not with my lips
But my eyes shape the words
That my soul cries out for;
As it is written clearly deep
In the scriptures of the heart,
No man can live alone,
And share a love that is housed
Between two beings.

So stay.

Don’t return to that life
That is dull as my own,
So drawn out in flickering
Sensations that do not register
To its beautiful potency.

Please... stay...

Should you not take this offered hand,
You rip away a life you could
Have had.
But a fear riddled
Path, stabs imaginary knives
Through your sole
And stings and stings the hope
Of “Us”.

Stay, love.

You are my missing puzzle piece,
The craving of my completedness
Moulded into the shape
That fits under my rib
And flutters like a hummingbird
Does.
My power may be limited,
For I am not God
But I do thank him for
Breathing such glorious life
To your limbs.

Stay....

Know... know this, my heart
That whatever that makes
Me and holds me together;
My image, my health, my wealth,
My mind and my life on the earth,
It all belongs to you,
For I delight in sweet surrender.

Stay... stay...

In this house I built just for you,
A shelter that will weather us
Greatly from the storm
And slanting eye of the world.
You will find peace here
In my arms as I have found
In your voice and the breeze
Of your caresses.

Stay.
Stay.
Stay.
With me. It is not hard.
