I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

Respectively



I'd look straight into
your eyes.
I'd get lost in them,
melt in the hazle haze
that'll let me see clearly
just enough
to catch glimpse
of your soul &
see the purity glow
that'll blind me
leaving me vulnerable
in your presence.

I wouldn't mind
for I've already found refuge 
in your eyes &
had gotten wrapped up
in the hospitality
that was waiting there.

I'd tell you
we wouldn't need
to use words to speak
for all the communication
that is still available
is more than enough.

All of our words
in our eyes &
at our fingertips
as we hold each other.

I'd tell you
how I feel.

How you broke down
monuments I made of
walls that were used to protect me &
replaced them with 
yourself in record time.

The world would melt away
at this point &
only then would we be there
between the lines,
between the universal pull &
without the need for gravity
we are here.

I'd tell you that 
we ourselves are poetry.

That our thoughts,
our feelings, & emotions
are the words to our melodies.

I'd tell you how I feel
let the wind carry
my very words to you
for you to hear them.

I'd marvel at the sight of you.
I'd like to make both cheeks
crimson red
like precious rubies.

I'd cherish you & protect you.

I'd often remind you
that I will never stop
doing so through my actions.
I'd tell you how I feel & 
make sure you knew
that the way I feel about you is real.
