Don't hurt me, just love me

	Don't hurt me, just love me Current mood: melancholy Category: Romance and Relationships It's amazing what one finds when doing a huge cleanup. Old wounds, past memories of lost love. I wrote this poem in 1993 on old piece of paper. I found it today. *sigh* Deep down within me, inside my inner core where only one person had travelled before Is an opening And even then they never saw the way to love me Glimpses of this place some questers had seen in me a magical island surrounded by an azure sea with mists and sands that move eerily to protect my unveiled soul Don't hurt me ~ just love me No other was right to allow inside forever eternally I would abide for the one who would know the times of the tide and the shifting sands and find the way Defenses could not be erected for him those there had all toppled into the dim murky past and then it seemed by sudden whim In surprise I paused and allowed you to see All that was yours to hold, to feel, to share, to love pure gold as the sun which shines then you took and you sold that magic which now is all but dry The hot dry red desert, it blisters me through it tortures and keeps me form gaining the true revelation which once flourished and grew The magic is maimed and disabled. The island recedes now to much greater depths In order to protect form the threat of more theft of that spot so vital within its cliffs deepest cleft with love and innocence you may find it yet If you are to love me you must understand I am a haunted creature remember the mists and the sand? I can only share happiness and make our life grand if the blazing light of love conquors my silent island I am mute I am here still Yet i cant explain what you dont understand such as "why all the pain?" if you really can't feel it, there's nothing to gain. I am who i am and that's all. Don't hurt me, just love me. To love madly I ponder the meaning for long Is madness what i crave? Celebration and song of oneness, seductive and entwining Is it wrong? Solitude on an island remote. or a volupturous vine. Love me with passion or leave me dry....
