Walk with me awhile, join me
Talk with me as we wander,
Take the time before to decide
Stop, think and heavily ponder.
***
You are, of course, welcome
To join with me on my journey,
But weigh up the pro and cons
And decide if we are worthy.
***
Know this up front, you listening
There’s nothing casual when I love,
I love hard and I love forever
Make sure you’re okay with the above.
***
When I love, you’ll burn in my fire
Singed by my passion, set alight,
Blissfully floating on cloud nine
Sleeping in my dreams each night.
***
When I laugh, you’ll stop, listen
Bathing in my music, willingly,
Your smile will light up your face
So my heart beats wittingly.
***
When I cry, you’ll know my pain
As you will dance in my storm,
Torrents of tears embraced
As the dam dries and reforms.
***
When we kiss, you’ll feel my love
You’ll drown in my Soul, happily,
We’ll hesitate to come up for air
The fire ignited and burning rapidly.
***
Think carefully and be totally sure
As my depths are littered with debris,
From the ruins of those who struggled
Navigating my currents to any degree.
***
The waters surrounding my spirit
Are a graveyard of those passed,
Their crime, the depth of their love
Being too shallow to ever last.
***
Again, I forewarn, so take heed
Think hard, do not act on a whim,
Do not set foot in my ocean
Unless you are ready to swim.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
