Heaven and Hell

You were just a fairy tale a dream that sometimes felt so real a secret I kept safely locked away You were there and I was here and never would I ever dare that is until one very crazy day Then all at once it hit me like nothing else I've ever known I have tried to calm this storm but since then it has grown and I have tried to tame this beast but I've been overthrown and know I'm ready to admit what I have always known You're a dream that's oh so real and I love how you make me feel and this feels something like a dream come true I could never stay away from you Caught between Heaven and Hell I've been captured by your spell please show me all the magic you can make And when my body cries for you there is nothing I won't do and what you want to give me I will take Since this whole thing started you haven't seen the tears I've cried but I know you've seen me tremble and you know how hard I've tried You've watched me struggle with myself then try to run and hide You've watched me come right back again and swallow all my pride I've been weak more times than strong but whether this is right or wrong you must know the same thing that I do I could never walk away from you I don't know where this will go and I don't really need to know I just know I need you close to me You said you'd always be my friend and I will trust you to the end but don't forget you are my fantasy I'm so wrapped up in desire sometimes it takes my breath away sometimes it seems so many things are standing in our way and sometimes I can't tell you all the things I need to say but then you take me in your arms and everything's okay With your love I am set free you know you mean the world to me and I would go through Hell to be with you because I am in Heaven when I do Inspired by John Hecks' Love Is In The Air contest

Wow! Robin, this lyrical poem flows freely from place to place grounded upon paths of love together grown. And beautifully carries the reader along for a peek at love's gifts. Good luck in John's contest. xoxoxox Dane

Oh, Robin, this is so moving! The reader can feel the power of love in each line. And I have heard it said that you "have to go through hell before you get to heaven." Hopefully, the moments of ecstasy will far outweigh the periods of pain. You have such a beautiful heart and it shines in this write! Love you, Carolyn
