No Longer Running Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Running inside, hiding away from a love being professed honestly
and purely from a heart of truth, caring and compassion, our
hearts beating in unison even though at times I run from it.

Always being drawn back to him like a moth to the flame, attract-
ed totally and wholesomely to the flame of his love, passion and
desire for me.

Loving the intensity in which he cares so much for me alone, feel-
ing the same towards him, willing to give my life for him, ready
to give everything I have in me.

Allowing him to possess me and no other, a willingness that never
fades or dies away, a lasting love that is his forevermore, coming
to a standstill at last, no longer running from, but to him.
