Passionate Love

I put myself in your hands
You put me in your heart
I ran away from your will
You pursued me with fervor
I dug my heels in against the pain
You washed my bleeding feet
I saw you loved me - I raged
You held me til my tears 
          washed away my understanding

Done with all my fears, I walked
You walked with me, and I found
           PEACE.

It's weird, you don't know it is peace you search for, until you have it. Now that I do, I guard it above all things. I fight hard to keep my peace. I pray that you find rest in your walk. For me, it's the only way to live.

Trudy Schrader Date: 1/26/2011 3:00:00 PM Thank you for understanding and enjoying my heart's drum beat. I absolutely thrill when I read poetry where the writer has laid bare their soul with no self preservation. It is the picture of innocent faith that children possess. Let's just say that "My LOVE" has reduced me to the faith of a child. He lavishes me with alien love...nothing in this world can compare. trudy Login to Reply

Christopher Marcum Date: 1/26/2011 12:10:00 PM smile -- this lovely moments softened colours brushed in precious about the canvas of a priceless painting in the vibrant hues of love, is very beautiful my dear for, what can be brighter than such a gift as two Souls entwined within the tender arms of a hearts portrait; framed upon the gallery walls of meant to be; pictures of love; very beautiful -- love, christopher Login to Reply
