In Your Shadow
by Paul Berube → (All Poetry by Paul Berube)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

Be one with yourself, then you may hope to be one with another.

You test my heart
and taste it's vulnerability,
breathing fire to exhale tenderness.
You left me scorched with doubt.

Doubt that your motives are sincere,
by leaving yesterday for tomorrow...
Does this change come with guarantees?
Should I be willing to bare myself naked?

Naked and alone with my trust
expecting disappointment...
Am I torn by fear and foolish in love?
Life does not contain the truth.

Truth is to dwell in your dreams,
letting you become part of me.
We can never be one
until I can walk in your shadow.

Paul,
A profound and true lesson. I think easier said than done for most, too. When you don't love yourself, it's then that other people's love seems most important to you...you seek it, though you're not ready for it. The ending on this poem haunts one's thoughts! Love and Hugs~

Until we intergrate ourselves we cannot be whole enough to share ourselves with another. This is a well written and deeply thought out poem, its truth is universal. Good job!
