You know her.
All  her best qualities.
Hold on to her and love her so deeply.
In other words, whatever is true?
Whatever you hold as noble and pure?

Love her in the same way.
Is losing her too big of a price to pay.
If your answer is yes.
Then love her unselfishly.
Make it your goal to keep her please.
Do whatever you must do?
My head feels dull.
Not even “comfortably numb”.
No mood for rhyme
Yet must cast my soul
Back through time.

No.
No more rhyme.
Just cast my mind back.
Seek that spark.
Call out my Muse.
Be inspired.
Excited.
Yes.

Excitement shines
Like a billion suns.
The merest touch
Explodes
My every nerve.

Magical mysteries
Unveil themselves.
Brilliant, fluttering butterflies
Flash and flicker
Those rainbow colours and more.

Deep inspiration.
Adrenaline rush.
Electrical discharge.
Cascading sweat.

Thunder-drummed tornadoes.
Lightning storms.
Rose tinged dawns,
And silver-ghosted Moons.

Inspirational volcanoes
Of Muse-blown delight.
That’s how it was,
To be in Love.
(C) Paul Butters 2010. An attempt to show the "magic" (James Reeves) of poetry.
Let me be your shadow;
Never in your way.
I cannot feel you,
I only think I can.
I cannot kiss you,
I can only love you.
I want to.
I just need one more chance
This time I'll get it right
You know that it's not like
I haven't even tried

Before the walls close in on me
Or before the great hell freeze
I'll do whatever it is I need
To gain your trust in me

When it was your trust I lost
The very first time around
I ran it into the ground
Took years then to be found

I have learned my lesson here
To suffer is my fate
I did not hesitate
Before it was to late

I just need for you to see
I need one more chance
I see the morning star
crack the eastern sky,
pushing away the pitch
with pinks & reds
& soon it will set again in the west
& I will embrace the darkness,
one last time without you.
I will miss you forever.
It was in my darkest days,
that you took away my pain.
You became my one & only,
my eternal companion,
we had it all,
you and me.
So loyal
you are,
so patient,
you were
always by my side.
You wept,
you laughed,
you remembered,
you gave me the freedom
to express my deepest fears,
you allowed me to open my heart,
you gave me romance,
you granted me this beautiful dance
& you gave me the love for all humanity.
But like all great friendships,
there comes a time,
it's inevitable,
this time of great sadness,
it is the hardest thing to do.
We shall never,
we shall never forget,
the memories
we made here
together.
Until,
we meet again,
I bid you adieu.

It takes a fool to let his lady walk away.
When all she request is to be love.
It takes a brave man to break down and admit that he still need her around.
When all she's asking to be love.

Pride has ruin various relationships all because of foolishness that some won't even admit.

Oh, it takes a fool.
To lose a good love.
It takes a fool.
To lose a good love.
When all they requesting is to be love.

Regrets don't have to happen if you know the answers to your question.
And adjust to them well.
I push you away
But I want you to stay.
I ruin every good thing in my life.
If I asked, would you stay with me tonight?
