My desperate attempts to feel
are discouraging to my soul.
I crave to be full again,
for my heart to once again be whole.
I am torn in my perceptions.
My sadness begs to be uncovered.
Your dreams are inspiration to me.
Your lips are heaven to be discovered.
Inside your presence,
my mind rages like a storm.
How could anything so beautiful
be chained to a human form?
I distance myself from your power
afraid you may be real.
Inside this fragile cavity,
is emotion caged in steel.
Escaping from my element,
I am not sure how to react.
Isolation is my curse, my fortress.
Loneliness is my fact.
In time I hope you see.
The shadows hide my face.
For once I was a gentle lover,
my scars have formed this fall from grace.

In case you haven't noticed, when I don't have anything to bitch about... I struggle to find words suitable for a comment.
These are better and better all the time. Every time I find a favorite, you hit me with something better.
This deserves a Bennie picture.

THIS is why I read poems. This is powerful, and I feel it to be honest..so beautiful. DAMN this rocks. This almost sounded like a male stevie nicks lyrics.. the truth in it. This is powerful.
This part.. hit me HARD.
Inside your presence,
my mind rages like a storm.
How could anything so beautiful
be chained to a human form?
