Elisabeth Noble Poem
You promised me anticipation
Of a fantasy future upon introduction
Happily ever after, you offered
But don't ask questions until info conferred.
Tentative and with inward questions afire
But with soft love in my heart for what I admire
I turn aside others' attacks and doubts
Until I can find out what you're about.
Slowly, you begin to unravel as I share
Myself, my heart, my sensitivities I bare
Wrapped up in you and your story
Though the tales are scary, I'm not wary.
Over time, I see the warning signs
And often times would run and hide
Knowing what I see cannot succumb
To what you had promised our life to become.
Flipping back and forth, as fear abounds
Like I'd come face to face with bloodsucking hounds
I retreat and attack and cry to myself
Knowing without you my life will be put on a shelf.
So, I learn that my lesson to be learned
Is to face the pain that my actions have earned
Not to bring on needless sorrow or strife
Because for you it only cuts like a knife.
Learning to love another beside me
Has been the elusive mystery
That I've never been brought to
Until sensitivity showed blossoming in you.
Many months of sharing laughter
And lifting each others' spirits after
Pain is inflicted on one or another
Which our strength we've developed endures together.
Being apart now hurts sometimes
But always now I realize
That our hearts are one as one can be
Reaching through the distance happily.
For when I see you, I know
You will always continue to grow
As long as you are shown love
And remain open to gifts from above.
Never let your feet get stuck
Where negativity is all amuck
For you are meant to blossom full
A rose that the sun does upwardly pull.

Elisabeth Noble Poem
Beyond the wall we face is a rainbow
Of magic, laughter, serenity, dreams pure without sorrow
Though all the brilliant colors are outlined by pain
Which is given for us to grow again.
We get occasionally to glimpse that rainbow
As we come together for momentary glimpses of the glow
Of the face of our loved one illuminated by colors in
Our mind seen from the emotions which tell us how you've been.
The colors and the pain are all intertwined
You can paint them through the words in your mind
That rip through my body to embrace my heart
Telling it secrets of golden intentions you impart.
I will be your ocean which captures all your rays
As you shine on me during precious moments of designated days
Where the walls open up and allow you to show through
To bring me pleasures that can only be brought by you.
Nothing can destroy those rays
You decide when to show them and on which days
The walls cannot make them go away
They only hide them until revealed on a new day.
And it will also in time show the fluttering
Of the butterfly which is your delicate trying
Which stems from a beautiful life not crushed
And which shares its beauty without being rushed.
