Monday motivational: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference - Robert Frost

A freight train

When I first met you
I was adrift, aloof, amiss

You came as though sent
Your face, your voice, and those eyes
All made me calm
Feeling the depth behind them
The strength
The person

Time has passed
But a sliver
And yet a lifetime it may have been
As my feelings, from the first moment
Have been true
Real
And unavoidable

Like a freight train
With urgent deliveries
A shooting star
Dead set on course
A stallion, determined to gallop to the horizon

So is the emotion in my whole being for you
I am no longer in charge
It has me
You have me

 I am yours
Do with me as you will

But know that in all my dealings with you
All my thoughs
And all my dreams and desires I will always treat you with respect, admiration and affection

Where our course is headed
Is unknown
Where we will end up, I'm unsure

All I know is that this journey is an amazing one and that I'm falling
Fast
Hard
and Persistently for you

The Rain

The rain was falling.... so gently.... it knew you were coming
It new that I needed it to cleanse me....
Prepare me...... prepare my soul, and my heart...... for the one

The one that would come, and silence my fears
Break down my barriers, and love me

Love me in a way I never knew existed and wouldn't allow myself to feel

He has gone now, but not for long
And when the next rain falls, I shall be dancing in it's rops, with him

My one 

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse - Florence Nightingale

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value - Albert Einstein

If you should go

The fingers of fear grip my petal-like heart
Threatening to shatter it into many small pieces - if you should go
If you should go, just as I feel I am beginning to know you, understand you, and love you, 
My roots will no loner get sustenance

Not 'go' in the physical sense, but rather just retreat into your multiple, complex, beautiful self
Barring me from entering your prison walls until eternity
These fingers of fear are so encompassing and vast that my heart, mind and soul are crippled with this fear - the fear of your leaving

You are so unlike anyone I have ever met
The strength of your intimacy enthralls me, captivates me, and I feel myself beginning to dance to the rhythm of your passion

The vibrance of you inflames me, all of me
But the rhythm, the fire and the magic will all disappear until forever - if you should go

Rejection

Rejection.... three syllables that are so hard for a little boy to understand
He couldn't understand the root of their misgivings, jeerings, mockings
His mother was just that, his mother, his life support, his candle in the wind
He couldn't understand why it was that his fellow pupils would find it strange for her to be unstable and insecure
Of course, he accepted her coming home at four in the morning, soaked as a sponge in liquor
He accepted the rocking-horse of emotions, ranging from hysteria to utter insanity 
He accepted her, why couldn't they accept him?
