Take my soul if you must

My heart is laid bare

My feelings will never wither

Some see weakness, I see strength

This solitude is good for now


Be not afraid of the approaching storm

For beyond it lies hope

Mortally wounded

A sacrificial lamb

Yet destined for glory





Oh this mask of braveness I wear so well

Take it from me

Tear it down and unburden me please

The child inside me cries

Tears of sadness and hope

Take my soul and rescue me

Save me

My heart is floundering

I ask for nothing, yet I want it all

Entwine my heart with yours

That is all I ask

Aww, releasing the passion in you.
Good one, joe.

Beautiful, sacred words Joe. I dont always comment as I feel as you are writing to a certain someone and I dont want to ruin your atmosphere....

Hi Joe

Really touch me... really beautiful and yet sense of sadness.

Again, I wonder about the lucky lady...

Joe, this is breathe takingly beautiful....

I think this is the 11th poem I've posted on here now and I never reply to the comments as I feel a little embarrased.

But I had too with this one as this is the only one I've ever really been happy with.

Oh and 'little things' which I posted a couple of months ago was OK-ish.

But thank you all


By the way, they're not for anyone in particular, I'm still waiting. They just reflect my mood at that time when I feel the urge to write something.

Thanks again

what a heart touching poem... beautiful!!

Wow, that could go right through one's heart.... a lost and lonely soul, facing the world with bravery , a heart waiting to be claimed from the sadness that engulfed him, hoping and crying out loud for love to save him. It tells so much about SADNESS & PAIN, STRENGTH & COURAGE, LOVE ,PATIENCE AND HOPE. What a lovely and touching poem
