I don’t have the strength to carry
I’ll walk beside, stride and leap
I’ve been up this way before
and I know the path is steep
If the darkness overwhelms you
take comfort in One and all
who are ready here to steady you
and would hate to see you fall.
————————————-
The higher up the mountain, the more treacherous the path.
Verse picture source
I have no words for how I feel
about you
but for the primitive sound
that leaves my lips
akin to the agony and beauty
of new birth
a life fearfully and wonderfully lived
Can penetrate the fragile fortress
which guards the hearts of those
not yet known to thee.
There is a name of one
who is my kryptonite
upon utterance all my defences
fall down I cower and return
to my world of torment
The name is secret to all but few
Forever in fear that the name be known
that all will utter it seemingly innocently
and take me down
revengeful, resentful, trust in few
Is it you?
Drink in your smell
nestle into the folds
of your clothes
sweet angel’s breath
Your hands fit over
my face and erase
my worry lines
Mesmerized by those
eyes framed with lashes
my cares dissolve.
I would never
let go
of fraternity
but if you asked me
I wouldn’t
say no
I can’t always be here to warm your toes..
