When - two hearts feel the same

Let’s open our hearts to what is written upon them
– there is more to what we feel…
Let’s rip apart the fears that bind us
– stepping out into the light
Let’s make that promise to hold and to keep
– what secrets and fears still haunt us
Let’s fall down when we stumble
– so we can pick one another up from the ground
Let’s justify our actions and scream them out
– long life cannot go on without you
Let’s lose ourselves in each other
– love me, consume me, and enslave me to your heart
Let’s forget about our pasts and settle for the present
– here and now, forever seems so clear
Let’s breathe just for a moment
– you are like the air, the oxygen that sustains
Let’s be deaf to the voices of pessimism
– only you I ever need
Let’s lay in each other arms and watch
– the time pass, the sun rise, love never fades
Let’s lose ourselves in one another
– I can taste you, feel you, breathe you
Let’s dream of what will only come
– a future that will lift the darkness

Let’s…
be
…everything.

You pull me up from down
even as you cry enough tears that I –
could swim in them…
If I could….
I would gift you the world –
every single sunrise,
as long as it made you see
The impossible to be –
is never really ever gone..

If I could…
I would –
consume your pain, eat your fears
breathe in your sins to me,
seemingly, I cannot be this weak
but I know what I hide
is deeper than you think,
I want to know you and only you,
give me a chance to be
…everything.

Now, I fear I may not be strong
…enough.

What if I cannot love
…enough?

If I should stumble –
can I fall
– in silence
– isolated, from you…
I cannot shelter you from myself
but – give me a chance to be
…everything.

I couldn’t breathe –
and you breathed for me…
I couldn’t move –
and you moved me…
shook me
unsettle me into living, breathing, again

I don’t want to lose…

this

but

I fear I may not be strong

enough.

Let’s whisper late into the morning…
– be the one to hear you calling…

for me…

When words aren’t enough –
– here’s my bleeding heart in my hand
…you already own it…yours to keep
…yours to rip apart should you want to –

but my soul, my life, my every being
– lives for you

Let’s blend our hearts…
– I want to be so close I can feel you living

Let’s bleed ourselves dry –
if the pain of losing you
rips through me…

Never too deep,
enough to sleep –
silence the weeping of my heart

Close my eyes
go to sleep…
beside you if ever need…

But, Darling –

Let’s say what we keep inside
– I love you, save me, meant to be together
Let’s run away from all the pain
– travel the world, watch the sunset
Let’s promise what we already have
– never can leave you, belong to you
Let’s wear our tears upon our face this time
– to kiss them gently away, never afraid
Let’s close out the memories that sting
– the only moment is now
Let’s intertwine every fiber of our being
– taste stings my tongue, touch burns my flesh
Let’s dance in the midnight rain
– love showering in tears of compassion
Let’s gaze at one another for hours
– no need to say a single word
Let’s listen to the silence
– music is your heartbeat
Let’s profess our undying love
– now, tonight, forever, per sempre…
Let’s sell our souls for another life after
– apart of me, completing me
Let’s pick up the pieces
– you are the light in smothering darkness…

Author notes

So - where did this come from?

Well, it is a collaboration with a fellow poet, il guardiano here on AP.

He was feeling extremely low, he didn't tell and I didn't ask but we stayed up the entire night - talking, writing and we ended up writing this...and I love it so I decided to post it despite that he asked me not to. (he will just have to get over it)

We both are deeply in love with someone so it works for both of us on many different levels. He tries to explain it, this consuming love and he can't. I understand because I can't explain it to anyone either...you just feel it and you know and that is enough. So...this is for Stephen and Amy.

PS I didn't know what categories to put it under, so if you think it fits somewhere, let me know.

PPS Damian - I want to do more collaborating with you! It was lots of fun to just sit and pick each other's brains apart. I love you!
And don't forget to add the rest okay!! I love you!

Please tell me what you think

    wow

    Long read, but worth it....I know the opinions others gave this poem. Never the less, i believe that this poem is strong...the begining cought me...somewhere in the middle i got lost but i pushed forward and i was glad to get back on again. I finshed it and i have to say you have really strong feelings. I doubt even paper can contian them....

    The first part of this epic write touched me deeply and I feel that it has universal truths that we can all find useful. The second part was that much more personal and I thinkn that they deserve to be separated rather than combined - both, for me, - would benefit from such a move. Thanks for sharing.

      It is supposed to start universal and then spiral right down to a personal level. Of course, it isn't a finished piece and we are going to work on it later today. Thank you for reading and your comments.
