Love Poem: Listen, My Love

Listen, My Love

Listen, My Love

I reach for you like a prayer
and find you, you're always there
a comfort for my weeping heart
a safe haven when I fall apart

You won't always have an answer
to my questions but we concur 
that to ask is better than to assume
knowing anger with its thorns will bloom

all the hurt feelings and the belly ache
the wasted time, the love we forsake
our woven hearts like a fragile web
wait hopeful for our soothing regret

I hold you for a moment of radiant strength
then you whisper when I get too intense
let's be patient and with tenderness
we'll find a balance for our happiness
