something to celebrate

I have suddenly woken up
and realised
that you just cant beat
the radiated
heat
laying next to me
you,  the comfort needed
in any season
these are my words to celebrate
that I found you

I like to beat
your radiated heat
into the world of me

security
is knowing you are there
security at the back of the mind
settles the times when the challenges
of life seem unkind
and you reach for the one who cares
for you
when
you need a friend to share the nagging doubts
when stresses strain upon
and I find things to shout about
when the world wont listen
at 3 am
she will
and she
shall
release the tension
within me
did I mention I care so much for you
a man, not saying enough?
do we sometimes keep it all in
did the man learn in a lesson of life
to hide, to make secret, the feelings for the place we are in
as we reside
co exist in this world together?
did I tell you that?
I love the things you bring and give
all the gifts in the forms
of the fact you live in my world
everyone needs their lover
of kind
pure grain
and refined
tonic to settle the mind
thank you for being there
thank you for offloading me
for It feels so heavy on my back
you say I'm no burden
and I like that.
when I share it all with you
for not judging me
when a jury told me to be guilty
when my doubts rally
in the conscious playground
my face, the open book
you steer me, make me look at you
speak to me
say ‘look at me’, I like that
when you ask me to gaze beyond
to shower upon you auras haze
I like that very much indeed
warms me
I trust you, that is valuable
you are valuable
I am ply and malleable
for you forming the spoon
happy
for you shifting for room
as we settle down and
accommodate ourselves in this world
on this night
for we belong in here
and at this moment if not always
belong together
2 souls in comparison
we measure up quite nicely.

Beautiful sentiments expressed here...

'did I mention I care so much for you
a man, not saying enough?
do we sometimes keep it all in
did the man learn in a lesson of life
to hide, to make secret, the feelings for the place we are in
as we reside
co exist in this world together?'

Pete, that's a great one; like John said, intimate and touching. It's about "love", I'd say, though you don't use that word in it, only "lover". The piece also illuminates the nature of being human - which is one of the great themes of poetry, and of philosophy. Hope you will perform it at the Tudor.

Good stuff Peter.

Intimate, touching.

Like the lines:

I like to beat
your radiated heat
into the world of me

and

you are valuable
I am ply and malleable
for you forming the spoon

Look forward to hearing it some day.
