Gift of Love : Relationship Writing by a Poet out of Albany Denmark, Scandinavia

written by Poet : EC

You made me what I became with you
an empty sheet turned into volumes of words
or perhaps a miracle canvas sprouting pictures
paintings and words both paint the heart
black or red, green or yellow, all of them hearts
some for joy, others for torture
but I repeat: You made me what I became
how then am I to un-make this you-born I?

Maybe I want to be what life itself made me
perhaps filling me with me is what I want
how then become what I was?
You gave, but your love took even more

	~ Wonderful... well expressed and interesting slant.	2009-12-28 01:00:00 Poet BlueAngel

	We are We are the sum total of all our experiences. Yet we can follow the path put on us or make new tracks in the snow. I was abused from a young age. But I've taught myself to refrain from those acts put on me. I can blame those who hurt me and hurt others or I can turn and choose to Be better. I find that with myself, I battle that which formed me. I fight the urge to strike out as I was struck time and time again. I fight this battle daily. I have been battered but refuse to be beaten by the circumstanses of my past. Love is an emotion until one forgets themselves and gives of themselves without want.For if I expect more than nothing I decieve myself. I shall not be my own fool. I give without thought of favor. In turn I am satisfied with myself. Whom I wish to please.Good write. But I disagree....Thanks Bob	2009-12-28 01:00:00 Poet Cavirzanee
