Standing before you

Standing Before you 


I stand before you immortalized forever in marble cold as stone
I stand before you with all I have 
Feelings, emotions, sorrow reflected 
By the  mantle I own,
It stands for love and passion 
I stand before you 
Forever in cold stone love 
My love 
Stands before you !

    This is a very interesting perspective on the picture - cold stone love - original and emotive.

    This makes me think of an aquarian friend that I love dearly, that can be and appear sooooooo remote and cold and hard, and then, I see that mirror. The ways people express or allow or define vulnerability is simply amazing, and then our own reactions to what we might view as a lack or a rejection! This one spoke to my personal experiences inside and out thank you!
