POETRY THURSDAY

If I could love you…

Written by B.DeVINE

If I could love you…I’d show you my love by carving our names in a tree. Not just any tree but the great “Treaty Oak”, the one with the enormous branches that look like the arms of God enveloping each soul that passes through the pearly gates.

If I could love you…I’d run a hot shower just long enough to completely steam up the bathroom and then I’d write “ILY” with my fingertips, so you could see what I’m feeling before you see your own beautiful reflection.

If I could love you…I would start from the strands of your hair and end with the tips of your toes. I’d love every part of you, no matter the imperfection, I’d do my very best to protect the connection we’ve created.

If I could love you… and I mean really love you like I was the one that created the word. I’d caress more than just your body. I’d try to touch that force inside you that motivates you. The spirit that makes you as strong as you are, when you fight for what you believe in. The power within you that keeps you going when you feel like the world is getting a little too heavy for you to carry alone.  I am the one who’d be there beside you, dividing that burden in half and after it’s all said and done, I’d be the one… nurturing your exhausted essence back to existence.

If I could love you…. the way I feel you deserved to be loved…I’d spend every day of the rest of our time together, thinking of other ways to show you my love…knowing that no matter how unique I try to be in my expression, nothing would ever capture the depth of my feelings for you.

If I could love you…I would show you how much I do….
But alas, I cannot…. because right now someone else is already showing you





Conviction
Written by MeMeMe

I am no longer held captive by love's 'what ifs'
nor lost among the dead ends of false hope

Imitation was all that came before him
with easily forgotten stale kisses
and meaningless embraces

None will follow him
and my past is a dead thing
never to be resurrected

It is only for him that these eyes see
that these lips speak
that this pulse lives

My skin cannot fathom the touch
of another

My heart's devotion is clearly focused
without a doubt it beats for him

Bonded not by children or precious metals
but by an immeasurable pull
and the simplicity of love's euphoria

It is my most precious gift
and there will be no return or exchange
for all is final in my heart and soul

No longer do I reach for stars
in search of the unfathomable dream

To feel his absence
is akin to breathing without air
or to view life in shades of gray

I would rather dig my own grave
for to be without him
would be to abandon myself



Your Dimension Of Greatness

 Written by Author Unknown

No one can know the potential,
Of a life that is committed to win;
With courage - the challenge it faces,
To achieve great success in the end!

So, explore the Dimension of Greatness,
And believe that the world CAN be won;
By a mind that is fully committed,
KNOWING the task can be done!
Your world has no place for the skeptic,
No room for the DOUBTER to stand;
To weaken your firm resolution
That you CAN EXCEL in this land!
We must have VISION TO SEE our potential,
And FAITH TO BELIEVE that we can;
Then COURAGE TO ACT with conviction,
To become what GOD MEANT us to be!
So, possess the strength and the courage,
To conquer WHATEVER you choose;
It's the person WHO NEVER GETS STARTED,
That is destined FOREVER to lose!
