The secret truth in your eyes.

Built our love on a rocky sea

with rickety foundations

on the seas of our hope.

 

Upon our pontoon built with love and the fear,

of drwoning in blood, sweat and tears

the tides of disapproval always crashed violently

while they creaked and threatened to breaking

as so vehemently as they often did;

such violent waves of purging yet,

the foundations still stood;

 

Now I am not one for mystics and magic.

But, I am pretty sure tucked behind those eyes 

in that steeled strength forged by the burden of proof 

an invisible, powerful force

wrapped me around you

and held us tightly to those rickets

and forced them to hold;

and I think to my self

about how all those times

I wanted to jump off the edge,

or stray

why I couldn't.

 

Now the storm is leaving

and the clouds are clearing, 

as dark clouds and thunder roll out of sight 

 

I just know.

 

I am a believer.

I have seen 

your once invisible light 

a love no force of man or nature can pull away

from the approval lighting your heart

through the glint in your adoring eyes. 

 

I am safe.

I am lit.

I see the endless blue skies

I am loved.

in you

I am alive.

 

our love survives.

I think it is great as is.

I think it is great as is. You need to do what you feel is right. not what others think. :) I merely suggested a title as asked. never did I actually think it would be a more fitting title. leave it just as you made it. thats what I do. hugss

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
