write with me
… as if i’m writing you
… as if i hear only your voice
your substance, your curves, your nuances, your eyes
as if for the first time
seeing me, perhaps
as a tiny particle of life in the ripple of a pond
it’s true, i remember the stars
when we first met
did you know that the cobble stones
on our path
each covered in moss
growing
alive
know that to provide direction
to you
is to cheat you of your trail of treasures in life?
… with your warm beaming clouds
listen to them
(. . .)
i do

beautiful poetry
I could see myself walking in the woods down a cobblestone path and just beyond the trees I could see a sparkling pond and I wanted to so badly to jump in and cool off, but there were no short cuts to reach it and no one was there to give me directions. I had to learn the path or rather paths myself. There were many and finally I selected the right way and reach the pond; I reached my goal.
I think it was beautiful; it was every day life and all the decisions we have to make. Loved it. Thanks so much for sharing. Be blessed!

i much appreciate the lengthy poetic response and description of your journey through the poem. thank you 🙂 -robin
Its been some time since I had a chance to be entranced by your poetry. This was truly a beautiful piece, well crafted and with great meaning. This being said my favorite part was the opening two lines, the concept behind those two lines I found to be the profound part of this work. Well done.
i know i’ve been absent lately from my posting… (always writing in my head though). your comments are an honor. thank you.
write with me
… as if i’m writing you
… as if i hear only your voice
I loved these three lines and I imagined that the poem would go somewhere deeper with these three lines.
I think the writer often falls into the trap of evoking the cliches. I’m guilty of it too. I like the poem, don’t get me wrong, but maybe you could have a sequel or a prequel that starts in the same way.
Just a thought, not a criticism.
thanks for your thoughtful advice… well-taken. …
I am so touched in my heart by what is written but left unsaid in this piece. Your imagery is powerful and I love that it is full of bittersweet beauty that doesn’t end.
it is what’s unsaid that means the most… thanks for your comment 🙂
You have something very alive and deep going on in this poem. I see it and I feel it a little differently each time I read it.
Enjoy the Rally!
