A Warm Place To Hide

for someone…

I’ve been living all alone

It’s a cold world outside

If I could have my way

You’d be by my side

I know you worry about changes

But I still love you so

Sometimes; the world can change

So – I want you to know…

If you ever

Need a warm place to hide

A warm heart,

Where you’ll feel at home inside

I’ll be waiting

Until the day, that I die

I’ll always have

That warm place you can hide

It’s so sad - feeling

That our souls are one

And that we sleep apart

When the day is done

Knowing, I would die for you

Yes, I love you so

Baby, this world could end

So – I want you to know…

If you ever

Need a warm place to hide

A warm heart,

Where you’ll feel at home inside

I’ll be waiting

Until the day, that I die

I’ll always have

That warm place you can hide

Your muse for this lovely song is swooning, and so are most of the women reading it! Robert, your heart is a beautiful place =)

Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 17, 2009, 4:13pm EDT

Oh, I hope she is....... But still, I fear the changes I sing of won't happen. But should she swoon, it will give me a smile.

Madame Butterfly ~~ mary ann d ~~ Jul 17, 2009, 11:12pm EDT

I hope that the love you feel is reciprocated and that you'll be together soon. I think she'll swoon. I know I would if somone wrote a lovely song like that for me!

Why don't you submit it to some music publishers or get someone to write music to it?

Wow.

Robert this is so heartfelt and touching. I can feel your loneliness. I do pray you find comfort and solace one day soon.

I think this poetry has unfurled a few points of eternal truth. In a way this is a chant everyone can utter in their hearts."I know you worry about changes

But I still love you so

Sometimes; the world can change"
Amazing.
My cowboy brother, you have made it.

silence for God

If you ever
Need a warm place to hide
A warm heart,
Where you’ll feel at home inside
I’ll be waiting
Until the day, that I die
I’ll always have
That warm place you can hide

it so touched me...

Very lovely friend.
Too bad your lady, true won't see into your wonderful soul and have you for all her days.
Keep writing the poetry dear, maybe she'll change her tune.
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting

I could here the music as i read this.
funny it is something the other Mr. Burnham tried to speak of the last time we spoke.
Except it is acually he who fears the change and I that know you can't go home again after 20 years of pain

OMG!!!!!! Robert, I haven't been on for awhile~~~I cannot believe it has taken me this long to find this!!!
It is absolutely beautiful!!!!! Wow, I don't even know what to say,,,, I LOVE this, beautiful doesnt even express this, I dont know what words I want to say, it took my breath away, along with any coherent thought I may have have!!!!

barb n. Jul 21, 2009, 6:59pm EDT

see< I can't even type a comment that makes any sense!
"beautiful doesn't completely express exactly what I want to say, words are not enough"...
that is more what the sentence should read

Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 22, 2009, 9:50am EDT

and you know it's yours......................................

Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 22, 2009, 9:50am EDT

you could say, 'i love you'

barb n. Jul 28, 2009, 4:55pm EDT

I will keep it forever!!!!

And you know I do, Cowboy

Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 28, 2009, 4:58pm EDT

Would you like a frame so you can hang it on the livingroom wall?

(not that I'd be trying to instigate anything. lol)

Yeah, I know.

I really like this poem. It highlights the richness of your emotions.

Robert - just a simple man - B. Jul 25, 2009, 10:59am EDT

Thank you Merrie. 'Richness' of emotions is easy to highlight when their simply honest and true.

The lady this was written for is amazing and so sweet. We're good friends but I wanted more but though she's not married, she already has her own life (such a recurring theme, I'm finding), so my love for her is bittersweet but the friendship remains a wonderful thing. (u got this twice cuz I hit submit too quick)
