It's Not, I'm not

Contributed by anonymous_skies on Tuesday, 30th November 2004 @ 11:11:35 AM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems



Don’t just read me like words on paper
Open your mind and hear my plea

I’m singing, don’t you see?

Don’t just skim me like graffiti on the wall
Reach out—this heart is warm, beating

I’m praying, don’t you see?

Don’t just scroll me like scribbles on the monitor
Kiss me, taste the sourness (it’s not ink)

I’m slipping, don’t you see?

Don’t just read me
Like I’m some poem or verse

I’m breathing--
You can't see.

Some don't understand, 'tis true enough... ah, but there are those who do. Few they are... but when they happen upon a write of yours and comment in a way that makes it clear they understand - it's a wickedly good moment.

I like this a lot. Funny though... I've always sort of felt the opposite. Sometimes, I swear, I exist more in the write than in so called "real life"... it is, I think, only possible to know/see me by reading me "Like I'm some poem or verse". Interesting that we see it differently.

Thanks for sharing this... you got me thinkin'!

Ooooh.

*grins* *loves* *really really a lot* Especially the line-

Kiss me, taste the sourness (it’s not ink)

Great, wonderful, too-much-like-something-I-would-think-but-not-be-able-to-write-this-well sort of poem.

Lots of non-sweet, non-chewy candy to you^^.
