To Love And Live

The panoramic sweep of my emotional landscape, Mountains, valleys, forests and seascapes Always in the background of my volcanic past, My journey of coastal scenes and inland views Made me survive even though I was always last In trying to live, to feel and to heal, I always had felt I had the least appeal With my battered and bruised heart, I was disabled emotionally, my weakest part To withstand the force of the past, You, my love see me only with loving eyes, That soothe my weariness and the destructive lies, That forced me into a maze with no way out, All I could do was shout For peace, love and acceptance Then my love you gave me romance, No more lonely dance, Just a complete beauty when last became first You gave me romance and all you wanted was a chance I find in your eyes a new me, A beginning to love and live, To give And to forgive Is a reason to start to live.
