Letter To a Lover

I don’t know where you came from 
or how you came into my world
and I don’t know how long you’ll stay
But I do know you have made all the difference in my world
I feel warm and alive again
You broke the blackened walls of ice surrounding me
and carried me from the cold 
I will always remember these days we share
and the moments of intimacy we steal
I know that someday there may be a fork in the road
and I may choose one road, and you the other
But I will be satisfied that you walked with me that far
And if you remain with me, than my life will be all the richer

I don’t know where you came from
or how long you’ll stay
But I know that I can feel again and that my love
will stay with me for the rest of my life

Susan Ashley Date: 12/2/2017 8:28:00 PM Chris, such a beautiful love letter or it feels like lyrics to a love song.. enticing and heartfelt sentiments, lovingly expressed. Your love and your poetry shines! Login to Reply Chris Hagy Date: 12/3/2017 6:27:00 PM Thanks so much Susan for your visit and kind words :) I am a songwriter as well as a poet, so your comment rings so true! I think many songs are just poetry put to music... they just seem to go hand in hand for me :) have great day C.H.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/1/2017 5:47:00 PM So which two animals have you portrayed, Chris. I enjoyed the beautiful words. I want to do a humorous one when I find some time. I can go on youtube to get ideas of animal love stories! OOPS< maybe this has nothing to do with the Love letter contest!! In that case, it is perfect as it is. Login to Reply Chris Hagy Date: 11/2/2017 9:45:00 PM Yep...nothing to do with any contest sorry. Just something I wrote years ago when I first started seeing my husband. So great to hear from you, sorry I don't get much time in the soup. Although on the topic of animal love...I have a video on my phone of two horses licking each other's tongues!! silly stuff!...have great day :)

Login to Reply Chris Hagy Date: 10/25/2017 7:36:00 PM Thanks for visiting Bernard, and for the wonderful comments :) Though this piece is not one of them, I do write songs as well...so when you said "best ballad lyrics" it was music to my ears! :) C.H.
