Tigression FuPoet at Large's blog: "By my words you shall know me"

Throughout my life

I have ever been confident…

Confident even to that point of

Ignoring danger until death was

Staring me directly in the eye; But 

When I feel your presence I become

So bashful that I dare not smile,

And I find myself lowering

My head toward a dark corner

Of my life... so as to not answer

The thousand calls of your heart.

But, I have learned that no dust

Will ever seal our love, and
That even though I might die I will

Wait for you and never lose heart

While standing, silently watching.
Because of the greatness

Of the love in my heart, placed

There mainly because of you,,,,
I wake with tracks of tears on my face…

But knowing the full measure of

The dreams of you. . . there by my side,

And not there. . . that fill my nights

And often my days. . .

I face my mirror each morning with a sigh
And ponder if your human heart

Will blossom in spring, like all other flowers;

And, if I turn too fast around the next corner…

Of this bright flame of love,

That fills both my nights and my days,

Shall there then be only ashes?

I fear to put it to the test but know

That I shall... for my love

And the love I have seen in you...

Shall require it of me.
