Here I Stand

Here I Stand

A Poem by Dani California

 

Here I stand

On the edge of your pain

My heart aches for you

Bleeding on cue

Though sees not which you sustain

 

Here I stand

In the midst of your strife

I reach for your hand

Try to understand

Though know not of your life

 

Here I stand

In the realm of your existence

My love calls to you

Eternal and true

Though feels only your resistance

 

Here I stand

In the corner of your mind

My soul shadowed in place

Reveals to you its face

Though yours, I cannot find

 

Here I stand

In the center of love’s will

My heart holding on

Your resistance still strong

Though here I stand,

 

Yet still

Your writting always pulls at my heart strings. Educated and precise. There is a beautiful heart in you that you are not shy to share with your readers. Your poem oozes with sarrow and strength in the same brush stroke. And what a wonderful picture you paint. I love to read everything that you write. Will you sign my book when you write one?
Peace

Here I stand
In the corner of your mind
My soul shadowed in place
Reveals to you its face
Though yours, I cannot find

made a tear come to my eye.
This poem is deep,sad but also touching.
Your way of making some words as human and beautiful as here is incredible.

Sometimes, with love, just being there, no words being said
is plenty. This is a wonderful piece. You do put your heart and
soul in your work...AD

I love the form of your writing. Its descriptions are so realistic and reaching out for my heart, begging it to sympathize. Which I do completely, from my personal longings and heartache, but also from the deepness of the language you use. The general 'here I stand' can be applied to many a situation, and the one you write of is heartrending and beautiful. It speaks volumes.

This is the first I've read from you and defiantly not the last. It felt like I was in this poem and right when I began reading it I could place a mood or scenario. I even related it to one of my characters from a game. Very strong feeling. I love it.
