Awakening

poem by: Sun Chaser
Written on Nov 11, 2016

Has a lifetime gone by? Surely it has
I met you when I was barely a man!
It was your smile......
It was the kindness in your eyes.....
It was your courage,shown in my behalf.....
It was the first time that I really felt love. 
Although your efforts were genuine,how where you to know what I was. 
A soul so damaged that I could not respond to the offer of your heart. 
I tried to speak but powerful bonds held my voice.....
I wanted to show you,but I was paralyzed emotionally.
You........were gone in an instant........
A pain set in like I'd never felt before.
One that faintly remains even today.
Held in that moment of my early life,I remain there,as if a part of me has not been able to leave. 
Until I grew enough that I could reach out and give back even just a little,to someone who meant so much.
So I say to you...... I am so sorry.......
        my first love,my dearest memory.

Each day passes,leaving a man feeling want. Since I've found you,a dormant place in me has drawn a deep breath...... I feel it's pulse..... I feel you........pouring into my soul,as water runs on parched earth. As you respond to m... Read more
