Out Shined

You gave freedom to my soul
By unlocking prison's door.
I hide in your shadows asking for more.
Your here must you leave so soon.
With you within me i feel like the space between the earth and the moon.
With me now , and always forever mine.
When i fall asleep for the very last time
Let world make no sound
When they lower me into the ground.
Please make no sound.
From the ground i see the tears flow.
Like the hands of a beggar never let me go.
With you I tasted the sweetest of wine.
Like a candle you blow out the sun, so i may never be out shined.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
