Word Power!

I suppose it won't come as a shock when I say that I love the written word!  It doesn't matter if it's a story, poem, lyrics, bathroom walls, etc., I'll be reading it. Consequently, I am often trolling around the internet looking for inspirational words and today I came across two poems that moved me deeply and hit a little close to home.  I hope you find them as moving as I did.  Enjoy!

Imprisoned Heart

It was her heart
he captivated and stole...
indelible memories,
carved into her soul.

Forever imprisoned
by his spell...
unexplainable devotion,
her own little hell.

Mesmerized in a trance
which she had no control...
A heart left broken..
no one could console.

Listening to voices
inside her head..
days gone by,
barely hanging by a thread.

Although her heart imprisoned
with no desire to escape..
She'd become defenseless
and accepted her fate.

Just I Love You GAB

It must have been your sweetness
that melted my heart
Or your gentle smile
could be the start.
Whatever the reason for me
to feel this way
One thing I know,
this strange feeling
grows stronger everyday

All this time I’ve been praying
For you to see and look at me as a lady
Every now and then I woke up dreaming
That I can be your girl,
not just a friend

Then reality broke me into pieces
It wounded me badly
as it came to my senses,
That you belong to someone else
And I’m left alone with all this heartache.

A few might have a clue
But nobody knows the pain I’ve been through
They can’t guess the sleepless nights
Nor count the tears I’ve cried.

My friends see me smiling and laughing
Yet deep inside there’s no place for denying.
I know a have to surrender and let go
At least to cease and ease the misery

Still I’d be happy,
because happiness means seeing you being one.
And let me say this for once,
I Love you…!
But I love you more, so Goodbye……
