Bigger Than Us

Seeing your smile.
you breathing in my ear.
Biting my bottom lip.
making me weaker every second.

There so much to say.
I Thought I found you for good.

but not yet.

Holding out.

Not taking the step

Its bigger than us.

Yet you say I don't know what it is

It

is what I Want
what I dream of

Oh, its not just for some of us
it's much deeper
wider
sweeter
Bigger than what I have ever dreamed  of.
Bigger than us.

Its kind

Its big enough
to drown out the scream of loneliness

Bigger than us
its bluer than the sky
whiter than the clouds
shines far more than the sun.
Sometimes.
Its just trying to find a place to be.
Comforting people
for moment.
they can only remember
when its over.

Bigger than us
far more stronger than the sands of time
than the bridges we built
than the people we lost
Than a lone man's guilt
When it all comes crashing down
who do we have left.
when is it all over?
when can we love no more?

Is there a time limit?
a period.
to find it?

When do we just give up?
Never?
Tomorrow?
weeks later?

what if it never comes.
Do we wait?
or go out and find it.

Do we scream
or Tell our kin
do we show Our weakness...

Or just keep it in?

Bigger than us
Louder then the earthquakes
hurricane's
monsoons
and Tornadoes
it leaves ruble in its path
for others to clean up
or just yourself
its makes us reach out farther
to save a life
but makes it unable
to grab their hand
and pull them to safety

it makes you lose it
so you can never grasp it
only to have you
compulsively think about it
knowing where you made

your mistakes

Bigger than us.

Will it ever be smaller than us?

Will is just never be there.
Or will it find us one day
and show us it truly cares.
Will it be the rain that fell
when we kissed?
will it be the bench we sat on
or the stone behind our backs
Do you know what it truly is?
is it the feeling I felt
when you held my face
as our lips intertwined

or the smile I got

when you looked directly at me
will it be the water that ran through my toes
or the force that made we weak enough to lean on you
and not want to get up......

What is it?

is it when you held my hand
Me never wanting to let go.

When you let go...

is it that?
is there nothing there?
or is it just a sudden
heart Crushing feeling we have
for someone who doesn't realize it ?

You say," You Don't Know What Love Is."

Love.
Is

Bigger Than Us.

some very compelling and well stated ideas, dellivered with emotion and drive ... problem is ... a bit too long to sustain the emotional intensity that was built in places ... not that you said too much; just that some of the building momentum got lost when not allowed to climax, punctuate, and subside. A great total statement on love, however.

GOD is love. Love is GOD. These are the first things I learned as a child and I carry those lessons until this day. The romantic love we carry through our lives is but a pale reflection of the life & love we are given through GOD's embrace.

Having said that, I truly feel that this type of love is a rare quality that beautifies and illuminates our existence. Love this poem very much!

Love is a maze that twists and turns and has no end...some descriptions do it more justice than others. Nice read.
