Love Can Smile

Just breathe with me, its okay our affection can live beyond pain and distance, just breathe with me when you need a good kiss, just breathe with me when there is struggle to be stoked, just bleed with me when nothing else matters, just smile with me when star light touches your face let your heartbeat dance with me across time and space...its okay J.A.B.

Thank you so much Dalia...sometimes, when the world is nasty and even love seems capable of breaking us down, a heart needs to truly believe that the one they love is always gonna denfend and inspire, protect and kiss with honest lips my Violet Poetess...J.A.B.

I have come back to this gem of poem, because it is just so sweet and gentle. Sometimes we need only know someone has our back when life tugs on our bleeding hearts.. "just bleed with me when nothing else matters" An extremely powerful line.. the affection is strengthening, Justin. Love you and your sensational heart! Always, Laura

Just breathe with me, it's okay. What a soothing and comforting line....I can imagine a woman safe in the embrace of her man...her head on his chest...holding on for dear life while he caresses her hair...his lips kissing her forehead as he whispers these words...willing her to believe he is her rock and her surety. A strong man...can be a tender man. Absolutely beautiful. Love rereading some of your writes, Justin. You have a poem to fit each mood.

To protect your woman's heart is a purpose supreme in passion, it has priority even above lust...to share the strife of life is the to be a reliable heart...the vision and companionship you invoke in me produces emotions of such tender loyalty Eileen. Your comment embraces my soul...J.A.B.

Justin, you sure have a way with the poets around here. It's hard to mark a real smile. However, I found myself smiling today. I have forgotten how it is to be strong, however, I surely have the support of my loved one. I am sure, anyone needing a smile, will enjoy this. This is a nice way in lifting someone's spirit up. LINDA

Dear Justin, Your poem has such a calming effect. People need to hear "it's okay" often, whether they be struggling, bleeding, smiling or dancing. I love your poem, especially the last line as it sort of transcends to another world - an eternal bond. If this is for one of the contests, I wish you success. Love, Carolyn

Justin Bordner
Date: 9/2/2014 8:15:00 PM

You clarify the essence of this poem so wisely Carolyn, thank you! To calm her sweetly, to have her know she can rely on my heart. We are making a world all our own, and it's so plentiful.

Yeah Eileen, this poem is kinda like a battle cry, a nurturing hug, a romantic kiss, and a promise. This was my way of sharing the hurt, of confirming love. Thank you for your soothing sentiments Eileen...J.A.B.

Love is indeed smiling on you.

Justin Bordner
Date: 9/2/2014 1:19:00 AM

I'm so glad you said that Richard, because that's what I feel between she and I. There are times when love goes from clear arithmetic to crazy algerbra but there is an anchor of passion, suspense and joy in our hearts that keeps us together. You don't plan these things, you just make it work if its real enough and tough enough. I'm smiling along with love tonight. Thanks Richard, for being cool! J.A.B.

Sorry Laura, got a comment at the same time I was replying to another one. Your response to this poem is so compassionate Laura. Just needed to tell my Love that two hearts combined beat more strongly than one. I feel more complete when sharing strength and hope with her.
