by Andrea Lena Dimaggio
another self deception i just started to say;
if he comes to see me i'll just send him away;
i really don't belong after all.
peering past my curtains i can see that he's here;
looking in my mirror i see nothing but fear;
i don't want to worry but he's getting too near;
i guess i don't deserve him after all.
standing face to face with him he looks past my shame;
standing here amazed that he just loves me the same;
standing heart to heart with him he whispers my name;
still, i don't deserve him after all.
love was always something that i could never see,
but he knows this girl in me who i feared i'd never be.
he puts his dreams and hope and faith and courage in me;
rejected by most, ignored by the rest;
i see me at my worst, he only sees my best.
i'm afraid he'll leave me; he just says we won't part.
holding me he reaches in and pulls at my heart.
his touch is so electric that it gives me a start,
maybe i belong after all.
i had vowed with all my strength to not let him in.
i felt so defeated; i just knew i'd never win.
he said it doesn't matter; he doesn't care who i've been.
we belong to each other;
we were meant for each other;
we belong to each other after all.

a lot of people can only dream of and hope for----I pray they all find that
love and acceptance,no matter what!You are the sunshine of MY life.

Ah my friend, you touch me
Ah my friend, you touch me to the heart. Your muse warms my spirit, and convinces me I am not alone, that there is that special someone for me. You are a welcome warm spring breeze entwined with the fragrances which promise of summer fruits. Thank you, I was feeling a little blue this morning, and now I can walk a little further.

Oh Mom...
I don't know why the tale in this poem sounds so familiar. Could it be??? You know that in Florida we can vote more than once. It's a state law!!!
Your hugging lil' Brat
That Is So Nice
'Drea, another nice touch. For some reason, it brought to mind 'Aubrey' by Bread in the '70's.

Beautiful
The ability to weave such a wonderful story with so few words is amazing. The amount of feeling in each verse and each line is something I've always enjoyed in poetry, and you capture it perfectly here.
Thank you,
Megan
Another beautiful rhyme
How can you write such beauty so quickly?
Dolce sorella, Lo si fa di volta in volta. Come si possono scrivere tante poesie o canzoni con parole che toccano il cuore. Grazie mille

This is very beautiful and so romantic.
As a writer of poetry myself Drea, I can appreciate this one very much. I can also identify with this too in many ways. Thank you much for sharing.
