Magic is all make believe.
Don’t we need it to be real,
when we are searching how to feel,
the love we always wanted to know?
After the icicles started to flow,
we hoped it would finally snow;
we could build a fire
grow warm and full of desire.
I am a rock and you are the sea.
Come melt into me
melt into me
meltintome
meltintomemeltintome.
set me free.
I am a rock waiting to flow.
Become a river
full of pebbles and people I know.
Afraid I will grow hard when love goes.
Lonely runs against hard;
empty doesn’t get you very far.
I want to feel myself fly. In your arms
I begin to think my dreams aren’t a lie.
I am a rock and you are the sea.
Come melt into me
melt into me
meltintome
meltintomemeltintome.
set me free.
Afraid to dream, nights are empty
fires burn down to coals and I feel old --
the ache in the bones, the feeling of stones.
Don’t leave me alone.
Melt into me.
I will become the ocean on a starry night.
Melt into me.
I will close the door on all that is past.
Wind flows against skin. I can believe
anything is possible when love begins.
I smell the flowers in bloom. I know
you will not leave me to be buried in stone.

BREATH TAKING
just simply breath taking to say the least...a soft flowing song of love that pulls the reader deeper within...to allow ones self to be so deeply touched without the fears of loosing or being hurt, to full experience the breath taking moment of love...just beautiful and thank you so much for entering

It is a heartful
I can't write music and I only can push the button on a CD player or lay a needle in a groove.
But, I know how to make words sing. I have been really lyrical lately. Glad you enjoyed.
Love,
Tom B.

You Had Me At Melt
I am in awe! How could this not melt any womans heart...
this is i must say one of the most thoughtful, romantic, beautiful writes i have read in a long time.
Yet the sense of fear added was fantastic.
I can hear the echo of the voice saying:
I am a rock and you are the sea.
Come melt into me
melt into me
meltintome
meltintomemeltintome.
If all men could process their words and thoughts and even insecurities like this alot of love would be around.
Breathtaking,
Love,

When I get a new vision, often, it shows up as lyrics first. This one came out half poem, half lyrics and full of my sudden awareness of how we put our fear of getting hurt against the need to stay available to be touched. We die without being touched. Glad you enjoyed it. I can't speak for all men. Only me.
Love, Tom B.

Bravo!
I like the way this reads poet. It is a flowing write and it extracts smiles and a feeling of comfort. It is also a poem that can be read several times without feeling dull or (even with its repetition) repetitious. I that makes sense.

I admit, readily, that I am influenced by song and love lyricism. This reflects that deeply. I like it when I able to celebrate love. Glad you enjoyed this.
Peace,
Tom B.

so lovely
beauty is found in many forms, and those who have come to love your writing see the beauty within your words, sometimes a peek into your soul Tom...and each time we read, we see and learn more than we thought was possible. good luck in the contest, this is as always, beautiful.

Watched the "House" premier. Thought about being locked up inside and what happens when feelings finally find some safe place to fly. Led to this. Half song, half poem. Glad you enjoyed.
Love,
Tom B.

how very beautiful this is. What a great way to turn an old standard on it's ear. you've become the rock. I like that alot. The words pooling themselves together, that's nice too.
lovely Tom, as I expected.
I wish you the best.

Wonderful compliment
We have many images for strength and often forget how they relate, twine, interlace and support each other. Often what is in one hand a strength in another circumstance becomes a weakness.
Glad you enjoyed this. I never knew you had come to expect beauty as part of my form. I am honored.
Love,
Tom B.
