942 I Want.. Poem by V F

Dewdrops shining in the first warm rays of the sun…
on vibrant green grass.. fresh and cool
you are so beautiful and I love you so dearly
thoughts of you keep me awake at night
yet no peace in sight…not even hope
I cant even wipe your tears
Nor make you smile..
I want you. need to love you..
Yet… destiny dictates otherwise…
Stuck in the quicksand of fate
Every breath pulls me further inside….
Want to be alive. Free to love you …
with you at all times….. every microsecond..
Never letting you out of sight..
Fiercely protective of your happiness..
Want to be that lovely orange rose..
…at your doorstep.. filling your world with fragrance..
Want to be the white soft clouds..
That hide the sun when it is too harsh…..
Yet want to be the fire…
That warms you when it rains too hard…..
