~Boundaries of love~

I shoulder my skin
I hold it tight
I just let it breathe
When I feel it's right.

Boundaries of love gone by to the past
Like a flickering candle
Dripping wax turns to cold.

You feel it's been brought to your broadened extreme
A tip of the iceberg is where you were at.

Boundaries of love
Gone by to the past.

Perhaps it was trees
Your heart could not climb
As your mind kept you safe
Where you just should not be.

Sometimes in life love comes to you free
Hard parts knowing what you truly feel inside
Your mind trips you up in a false loving touch
How big do you want it, what you keep is it real.

Boundaries of love
Gone by to the past.

Then you find there's a place
You've never been at
Where it flows from the heart
Not a bit holding back.

Boundaries of love
that were once in the past.

Where it flows from the heart
Not a bit holding back.

Whew, the last time I was there...it was long, long ago.

The last two lines: "Boundaries of love that were once in the past" gives us hope, love hasn't gone anywhere, but stayed where it belonged:

"Boundaries of love,
Gone by to the past,"
Make us twist, turn our mind
Asking, is love in past?
Or indeed it resides hidden
Deep in our heart?
"Boundaries of love,"
Is there concept as such?
Is there limit to love?
This is what I would ask.

Enjoyed the poem very much, thank you.

Fine write my friend...I'll tell you something....sometimes I regard different emotions as countries that have borders, that we are continually travelling through, as we go through life..They don't change very much, but our rate and amount of travel does..So I enjoyed this read very much....Thankyou bentlee....Andrew...cool

Words from the heart....which sometimes we should force into boundaries....but never seem too ....Niahwow teddybear
Bentlee
ty Marikia, you offer depth to my write.


I truly believe what we are able to give is limited by the Love we carry for a special person. Which in turn creates boundaries that our heart will not allow us to cross. After all true love carries nothing but It. Unless one of the partners are saddled with alot of baggage lurking. We all create boundaries in every aspect of our live's. Ty for your thoughts, wine hug
Bentlee

i am blown away
out in the sea of this poem
and trying to find port

if there are boundaries is it love?
my love knows no boundary
it stretches to the horizon and beyond
deepening into the blood red sun
darkening into the horizonless night

with no boundary
the world is indeed round
i am sailing lost, round and around
