Treasure Box

Contributed by lnnie on Monday, 13th October 2008 @ 11:02:45 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

So soon this time
melts away
like you;

my common sense
sometimes
leaves me too
like you
many times.

Often I am blind
and cannot see
the You before me;

many times I need
the help to see
desperately
from you.

I lay down with you
to make peace
but cannot speak
the words;

I want to say I love you
but can only buy a present
which only signals how I feel
but is not what I feel.

Chocolates are not
a human heart.

Many times I want to reach
out you
but feel I cannot spare the hug

you need.

I'm always on the edge of hesitancy
feeling I cannot spare the Me
locked away in my small
meager
treasure box.

Nary a coin there
I feel
can leave,

and I guard even small
leavings
jealously.

The wonder is
I think,
such meager treasure box pickings
I have,
I think
I have to protect;

because it is always closed
it does not easily release
scarce
feeling coin;

but then again
it is never open
to receive
new coins,
bequeathed.

This is really creative writing.
Love is the only you get more of when you give it away.
keep writing.
huggs, smiles, little treasure,
