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

My heart is heavy, and has been all day long,

Because I clearly see you have so far to go.

It is almost as difficult for lovers to meet

As for the morning and the evening stars.

So as I turn gray at my temples,

And you still brush long thick tresses,

I wait for you to clearly tell me that

Our souls belong together....

Now when my heart is almost broken,

(Since you constantly turn to me and say

…."I dare not know you"...),
Must I bare my breast so your daggers

Might find my heart with greater ease?

Perhaps I should climb atop the pedestal

(That you perceive I have placed you on)

So that when I reach the top I may see

All the mountains of the world

In but a single glance?

No….....for once there, in the instant that

I take your hand, we would find ourselves

Not on some lofty peak but merely

On the level and solid ground

That I ever had been pacing on.

There is no wine nor other spirits that might

Make me as drunk as I ever would be

Feeling you place your love at last

In my heart with your own words....

But still.... because I yearn to hear you promise,

I take all of you that I see and hear,

Into my being to quiet my troubled heart…

Waiting for you… ever-waiting.....

Today the mountains separate us.

When tomorrow comes... will it be the same?
