"Wonders"

A poem I had published a few years back.


How can a man,
with such scar-ridden and broken dreams.
Expect to know true,
Is in his next chances heart beams.

Will the walls go away,
and leave him standing alone.
Will she bust open his heart,
with long sought after tones.

Will he see the things,
he almost gave up on finding.
Will they be true from her heart.
and not to her burdensome or binding.

Will he know shes the one.
whom hes longed and dreamed for.
Will she stand him up tall,
and open a new door.

Will he know he lives up to,
what her heart desires.
Will his heart allow,
the re-kindling of fires.

Will he be able,
to right any wrong.
For her in her life,
that may come along.

With only a kiss,
or the touch of his hand.
Will she know she is loved,
more than the beaches have sand.

Will they always know
without doubt or question
There is undying deep love,
and an un-nerving attraction.

Will life ever give,
such a sought after wish.
He fears that his past life,
will rid him of this.

Will he be able,
to honor her love.
And put aside the fears,
in the questions above.

He has hope and he prays,
that someday in his future.
That she is able to come,
with a needle and sootcher.

And mend all the holes,
and cracks in his heart.
And she will know that hes loved her,
right from the start.

And they will never be burdened,
with thoughts of leaving.
Just molding a new life,
entangled in each other and forever interweaving.

I think they will know
soon after they first meet.
As sure as I'm setting,
here on this seat.

They will say THIS IS THE ONE,
I'll spend life with till death!
And they will cherish life together,
till their last dieing breath.
