mixed emotions


Riding On The Waves of What Might Be

Shall I come to you
or shall I stay away?

The pull of the moon,
the tug of the heart
beckons me to your side.

The sound of your voice,
silent in its calling to me,
draws me near
and
then
the unknowing
of your desires,
leaves me broken in thought.

I am torn between the two of you.
The depth of the ocean is wide.
I am willing to take the chance
riding on the waves of
what might be.

Tell me.

Shall I come to you
or shall I stay away?

The pull of the moon
The tug of the heart
Beckons me to your side...

I loved that stanza especially because the moon as magical it is catches us dreamers and lovers in dreams and we hear what our heart tells us. To not go is like denying our heart and likewise our humanity..

Beautiful poem,
Zachary

:) "So you gotta let me know - Should I stay or should I go?"
I say - take the chance! defy the risk of being hurt!
You express very well this classic love dilemma!

Come to me
Dont stay away...
My heart is a toy
For you to play..

i've often felt this way with people... feel compelled to get close to someone but then you don't know how this person will be taking it... it's like you want to but you don't want to barge in, type of deal... well, i'm probably rambling, but this made my thoughts go and brought up a few instances when i felt this way... this is well written in a way that leaves the reader to their own thoughts, making the emotions expressed in this relatable (is that a word?) ... excellent as always... thanks for sharing :f

later... xx
