I thought maybe you could recognise me
If I showed you all my pieces
The broken and the beautiful
The sharp edges and depleted
I thought maybe you would know my face
If I swept back my autumnal wave of hair
So you could look straight into my emerald eyes
And tell me what was there
I thought maybe you would sense my soul
If I laid it bare in every line I breathed
That maybe you would breathe me in
And chase me through a dream
Alone
'I think therefore I am'
Some philosopher once said
I think of all I could have been
But just had thoughts instead

How much should we reveal of ourselves when we relax into loving. Such a safe secure warm feeling where we let all that we are flow hoping our partner is on the same planet.
Sadly all too often we are eclipsed.
Yes I believe I could be eclipsed...
Such a poignant appeal in this outpour of Being - a most heart-wrenching read dear Sylvia
Thanks Fay.
Was just having a hopeless romantic moment...
No need for me to search high and low today, these words jumped out at me as soon as I opened the page... and they are beautiful words indeed, crafted into a meaningful poem but maybe tinged with a certain sadness... Neville
My being is forever tinged with a certain sadness.
Thanks for catching my words when the jumped out at you x
I'm glad I caught them too...
A beautiful write.
Thanks Michael π
Exquisite my friend
Channeling Plath in this
very symmetrical from the depths. ππΌπ«
Plath was often misunderstood you know. She was both enigmatic yet awkward.
As you know she channels me!
And I bet noone ever understood her sense of humour either π
Thanks for reading and being kind.

Perfectly written.
Thanks kindred vibe π€
Strongly written emotive write, you still have time to be what you want to be.
Indeed I do π
Beautiful poem. Very well put together and flows perfectly. I often find myself in solitude and wanting of someone to understand. I don't open up easily.
Well thanks for sharing my moment π
Lovely piece. I sense that you are seeking acceptance/understanding from someone or something. But the reality is that you are alone.
Maybe we are all alone but I am more conscious of my solitude.
There is a bit of reaching, seeking, imagining. But then dreams are su much better than reality.
Thanks for reading and commenting π
