Trust

Forlorn are they who can't find love When aching tears hide smiles; Drifting through life on their weary way As lost and lonely sad exiles. Forlorn are they whose hungry lips Kiss vacant air but never touch; The tender mouth of one they love Lingers there to suffer much. But dear to me is the one I trust When I see that look in his eyes; I will hold his hand throughout the day And in the night find true paradise. Not for me should one feel grief For in him I've found my light; I'll walk and hold his hand by day And sleep in his arms at night. A collab with my friend "Danny boy" Kearley

I really like this poem. Trust is important-and the way you worded it touched my heart to find the light within someone as well, but not to linger too far away from myself to find-because I'm not alone. Thanks LEGANDWRITER

This is a beauty, Elizabeth!:) Feels shrouded and searching in the beginning, but the last verse nicely brings it together. Thanks for your gracious comment on 'the storm', all the while I'd been hoping the wind would come up and send that spider sailing into the water so it could be eaten by a fish! Best wishes, Mikki

This is so much more than I was expecting from the title! Well done. Especially the second verse about a kiss ". . . hungry lips Kiss vacant air but never touch. . ." Very forlorn indeed. - Chuck

Not unlike a key, a friend can be an open door in life. To fill the heart with renewed joy each time they quell the strife. I hope you know how you make me glow when you respond in kind. And how your love can soothe my soul and ease my troubled mind.

Collabing with Lizzy,puts my mind at ease. My minds locked in a cage,and she holds the keys.Writing with her,our words intertwined from the heart.Has been a splendid experience,right from the start. Danny boy :-)
