Poem Title:
Poem
Shower me with your love… Observe pain as it streams from sky blue eyes; burning and insuppressible, unshed tears drench as transformation comes to pass. Watch as it seeps from pores, releasing poisoned beliefs, acrid thoughts, and toxic misgivings, flushing fear and hurt from core. As grief, sorrow, heartache and dismay are squeezed from each cell of my being, remain, for they will unfailingly step forth now to bid one final adieu. Rain down on me as all is cast into oblivion… Witness as jagged breaths and uneasy rhythm are restored to deep and effective cycles; breathing without hesitation, no longer an effort for trust is emerging in realization that love truly exists, devotion is more than an unachievable concept, and loyalty is an inner promise, a personal oath made with honor and integrity, a determination to stay true, not some façade or falsity spoken for outward approval or regard. Hold on, for my smile has finally reappeared… Then, nurture me and nourish my being, my soul… adore me. Let me feel the warmth of your essence entwined with mine; the tenderness of your touch as it soothes me into euphoria, the softness of your lips tasting, caressing, lingering until I am certain they belong to me alone. In the comfort of your embrace, this once-in-a-lifetime place where serenity flows through me, enchanting me, enticing me, thrilling me, imploring me… my heart nearly bursts with rapture, longing, and sweet ecstasy in this new-found freedom and fearless expression. It is here, in this moment, I finally lower my guard, demolish all walls, for I know I am safe and protected. I am yours, and eagerly share with you an untapped, yet infinite, well of passion, love, affection, adoration, devotion, and tenderness. I will love you like I mean it, passionately and playfully, honestly and joyfully, with fervor and fever, forever to eternity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12/1/2019 For Love Me Like You Mean It Poetry Contest Sponsored by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver
