All I Am

All I Am

Arms, hold me closely, my own arms, my will
Heart, keeps on beating, don’t waiver, don’t spill


Now until I figure out who else to hold me close
I control these fragile dreams, and which ones to expose


I ponder, I hate, I wonder, I wait
I cannot keep these knees bent, not forever, in this state


Legs keep on running, don’t buckle, be strong
Lungs, withstand the pressure of duress, it might be long


I try to keep composure, with all that I’m made of
I try to understand the limits life has placed on love


Patience might be virtue, so I often stand abeyance
But I give into my recollect, of a previous song and dance


I love without a reason, I care without a cause
I cling to every word you say, even marvel of your flaws


So eyes remain affixed about her beauty not her face
And ears remain in tune, account for every single trace


Of a voice that I hear clearly though my own has fell apart
To the company of her listening to the beating of my heart


Body remain warm, not to give into the cold
Mind remain oblivious to what lies you may be told


For she is worth the waiting, the bounties, the trials,
So be the friend in waiting, through heartache and smiles.

I wrote a poem called "Race" that express my inner thoughts something I can't express untill I use things to express what I feel like or as simile and metaphor....But Wow!!! You Poem was good...LOL!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
