but unbeaten

dusk arising

 

 

in your face i see a wonder
in your eyes a chance to be
in a place i used to long for
a place which always escaped me

but in my heart i hold a feeling
for in my soul burn memories
how i crashed and burned in a living hell
and fell down to my knees

so if i seem a little hesitant
please dont think it that i dont want
and if i seem a little slow to start
i'm only proctecting my beating heart

     battered but unbeaten
                              my beating heart

    Your beating heart is still beating and will take you past that hesitancy back to that place that was once your life.

      I'm in no condition to be involved in romance at the moment.... better days ahead health wise i'm hoping and maybe other joys of living too.

    • Poetic Dan

      In your energy I see a champion, a master of many wits. A heart that I admire, the will to never give in!

      I even shed a tear, greatful to the life that got me here!
      Thank you

        You are getting to where you belong and soon, very soon, you'll be able to close the door on those negative things of your 'before'..... doors can be opened when they need to be of course....

        Closing that door, having lived behind it, has created your personality and character and taught you what love means, what it is and what it can be.... it's yours go out and get it.

        A strong heart - long may it beat.

          A wonder of words woven in hope to assure the heart that stays unbeaten - a lovely rea D.A.

            History haunts us and makes us unsure, uncertain, afraid even....until we take one step beyond all that....
            . .. then a new life begins

            enjoyed & muchly so...

            I particularly like the subtle word play of the unbeaten beating heart.....

            • dusk arising

              my words of reticence.. i want to but should i?? etc....she has to be told or wrong messages are received and she runs

              • Neville


                Understood...
