Safe Haven

A riveting poem about love and finding solace.

Fleeing from days of yore,

But still on a broken bridge.

Impotent ropes suspending you falsely,

From the haystack of pins below.

Foolishly dressed in a stranger's name,

And beauty that once was.

Resisting surrender to memories of bane,

But hope plays games with the heart.

What a broken soul she must be,

Waking with both eyes closed.

Completely oblivious to internal serenity,

But I shall awaken her to the reverie of reality,

Washed from her eyes.

Bleeding nostalgia from the cracks in your heart,

Rejecting the hope of happiness.

But I can be your confidant,

Cause you're not alone in loneliness.

Inscribed into the shards of my heart,

Are the words flowing through your lips.

Like a fountain of desire,

Singing to my veins.

Forever and for always unwanted,

Wherever you may go.

But I am the place where you belong,

Call my heart your home.

Here is where you're the only one.

Seek solace within my soul,

Surrender to sacred asylum.

I'll willingly venture into your unknown,

And battle the beast for your inner peace.

The kiss that locks your lips into me,

Weaves my body entwined into you.

Find haven in my heart,

Take shelter in my arms.

Borrow my love at no possible fee,

And return it whenever you feel free.

This has to be one of the most romantic pieces I have read in a long time.. I don't know if it is because it sings to my desires, or what, but wheeeew, it affected me... I am saving this one to my favorites so I can come back and enjoy.. the last few stanzas were amazing.. I like how you started the piece showing the need for that safety and refuge.. well done.. this was such an enchanting read..

I'm really glad you liked it April. I wrote it when my girlfriend was going through a really rough time. And I feel like every girl needs a guy to tell her these things.

Some pages of love got opened in an every verse of "words"--with the strips of melodious peace. The poem you`ve pen`d is seemed full of your own loved thoughts which`re deliberately spoken to the universe for love. Nice imagery.

ok... i was pleasantly surprised by this poem, but not as much as i was to find that i am the first review....

any love offered from one who feels to care can only be a positive for a friend in pain, the closing of this poem displays the sincerity

thank you for sharing, i love your voices flow

Thank you so much for appreciating this piece. It really means a lot that you get the meaning hidden behind my words.
