I am solid.

When I am cautious with my heart,
I am waiting for trust from you
and from myself to you.
When I love you,
that is pure.

When I say I want you close,
I really do.

When I am scared and slightly distant,
I'm still always
thinking of you.

I am solid.
Even in my tears, the element may be water
but it falls from a face that closes her eyes
to pray to seek knowledge, and understanding;
and strength.

The wind may toss my hair around
and fires may be burning all around.
But I stand here,
on my two feet.
Solid. Strong,
and inlove with life.
And most importantly...
you.
Velvet whispers
Inaudible murmuring
Stifled secrets

Indigo shadows veil desperation
Obscuring desire

In a lucid azure dream
I found you

Under a sapphire sky.

I'd be interested to read more of your stuff, if you're willing to share.

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

And if I were the little bird
That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd si

Some people are so shy about what they write, they won't share it...

I ask: why do you write if not to be read?

I'm suffering from a little writers block. I'd would *appreciate* any help given by the inspiration dxpians. The piece is humor.
