U-R the Calm To My Storm...

Unrest is the tempestous,
world seems out of favor...
malignant beseem the superflous,
sour,ill-tempered neighbors...
But...
The grass is always greener,
at your side of our choosing...
you've made me a believer,
love's hallmark unites fusing...
You are,
The soft to my hard
a sheath for my sword,
like whisperings of a bard
you are the calm to my storm....

Jay, when ur poetry is so good that people relate and it strikes cords then I would say you have succeeded. This is truly one of the best poems I have read, though many of your piees are like that. Funny when you put yourself surrounded by mirrors, the negativity does go from you on the outside but if you hoard a little bit of negativity caused by fear it then mirrors to you. Formal appologies, Cindy

Jay an outstanding poem - Always so much said in so few words - I detect a note of true love in this poem - Has Jay found true love? I hope so because it is what your poem so clearly states and you deserve that - God Bless
