Dark And Light Of Love Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

A summer's wind brushes my face
My heart jumps up as I remember a place
Where the dangers and sorrows were never around
Where my fears and the deceptions didn't exist
So there I stood, by the water edge
Looking at my reflection and what do I see
A mixture between confusion and love
So the winds push by my mind
They murmur times of change
I can't help wonder what ahead of me
I clutch my heart and close my eyes
My mind begins to wander and then a picture forms
The silence helps to ease the fear and see past the fog
Then a image of you comes into my eyes
I can't help but smile as I think of all the times
When you help me so close and kissed me so tenderly
A tear falls down my eye and I sit under the stars now
Their pigment reflecting off my frame and give me an almost unnatural glow
So I sit and bask in the glory of the night
Keep my thoughts up on what's to become
I love you but theirs still that confusion
That if you love me back and if you are true
So I brush away the thoughts and the winds whisper time
I understand completely and give out a small sigh
Patients is a virtue I have long learned about
So I stand and open my arms, letting my fears fade
I cant help but worry about all that pain
The one remembered oh so well, and all those tears I've cried
How can I be sure I am not wasting my time?
How can I be sure my heart won't be broken again?
As the winds have said to me, only time can tell
But live each day like it's the last and enjoy ever-precious moment
So keep the trust in the others hands
Understand they hold the power to bring your spirits high
Or is the one to break you like you've been so many times before
Yet something always tells me to let it go
To let my hope rise, only to have to it fall
Is loyalty really frowned upon
Is giving your entire being to the one you love a crime
If its not then why do I always see
The worse side of love
The side where my heart continues to ache
Perhaps this time is different
Only time will really tell
If I will not be broken
And I will be able to stand
Rejoicing the fact that love had finally won
Or be the one left in the shadows, still shunned
