tumbling

tripping,

stumbling

slipping

struggle to hold on

please help

build my walls again

feeling my heart

feeling it give in

joy

tears

longing

fears

need the bricks

bring them here

mix of emotions

smoothering fear

screaming

haunting

endless

daunting

looking for a way

for my feet to run

affraid of attatching

myself to someone

peace

in your arms

peace

in your voice

leading me on

to make a choice

I turn to run

arms hold me tight

not letting me turn

not letting me take flight

soothing

whisper

comforting

words

I yield

submit

I rest

and yet

I wonder

your thoughts

are they like mine?

In the loneliness of this very place

I can hear your voice, feel your soft embrace

So many miles seperate our love

Sometimes those miles are so hard to overcome

As memories flood through me

I feel their power surging in my viens

Holdig on to sweeter moments

Wishing things could be the same

Here I am,

loving you,

wanting you

for it is you I desire,

Your loving touch

in words of tenderness

You have given me so much

It maybe a hard and rocky road we travel

but travel it we must

I give you all my love

I give you all my trust

Sheila Anne Bryan/2001

I remember clearly

the day that we first met

I was truly determined

to not get close and yet

here we are a year has past

and still you say no strings

I have never yet once asked

to have those silly things

I can not deny the truth

you are securely in my heart

but I would never ask of you

the same truth to me impart

there has been many a time

your kindness you did show

letting me know that you care a bit

my heart did over flow

it seems at a crossroad

i now take my stand

and I wonder deep in my heart

if you are willing to take my hand

I am not asking you forever to be mine

I just want this moment, our moment here in time

here we are no strings attatched

to your heart or mine

but I can not help but say

I'll love you for all time

Sheila Ann Bryan
