Inner Emptiness and Internal Tears

To have an empty heart
For nearly thirteen years
Inner emptiness
Many internal tears
 
Music is my Savior
And now poetry has come along
I know where i want to be
It's where my empty heart belongs
 
I have thirteen years in storage
Of cuddles and company
Kisses and strong feelings
For someone to share with thee
 
If i had wings like an Eagle
I'd be in flight today
Over a blue stretch of water
To my future i would say
 
I'm just a simple man
From a distant Scottish Clan
Please take me in your arms
And be the man i can
 
Take me to your bosom
And let me hear your heart
To spark my ignition
Leave thirteen years in the dark
 
Take me by the hand
Hold me close and tight
Let me lie beside you
Every single night
 
To wake up beside you
Knowing i can touch and kiss
To know there's love tomorrow
Is this Highlanders only wish

the greatest glory of man is not in never falling but in rising everytime we fall.... i too have fallen many times... there are times before i thought of leaving home... amd worst committing suicide.... but when i do such i feel ashamed nd scared.. hence what i do is just let it all out by crying and praying.. and somehow still to find the way to stand again.. with every stand its true I know in myself ive become better...

I feel your pain of putting your inner being on hold for some reason or other and needing to be able to let it surface again. In the fourth stanza lines one and two. To rise on those wings be over the weight of the world lifts me. Keep writing. Sara

You have a way of molding some beautiful line filled with honesty and hope.

James, You have a way with words. This is a very sweet love poem. Are you expanding your skills? Or is this poem personal? Whatever it is, it is very expressive and compelling. Always, Dane

There can be love tomorrow, but you'll have to hop on that plane and step out of the dark. You take us on a journey of the heart and evoke romance for the one who lies beside you. You are an extraordinary man, James, with so much love to give. Beautiful poem! Love, Carolyn
