You desire

Attention

But inside
There is
Fear

You breathe
But you don't

Feel

How sweet
Your life


Is

*sigh* to desire that which one will never have because we fear makes us look at our lives as less than they truly are. mmmmm very interesting way you have me thinging. Thank you.  

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

Glad to hear that a "simple arrangement of letters" is encouraging you to think in interesting ways, Karen.  First thought, then decision, then action:  fight fear!  Thanks for the read and reply.

Wow! Sort of like the walking dead! You know the ones that float thru life never really experiencing it. Like having a day off from work and sitting at home complaining how much you hate your job Ha! I like this very much. Exhaling even should be a passionate emotion! Sorry, I can have fun in a paper bag! Hey thanks for the comments. I sincerely appreciate your insight and kind words.
Sincerely,
Regina

Maybe it is easier to hold back, in some ways, but to never experience the joy..not worth it, I have to keep taking chances  
Good one, Mark

You breathe
But you don't

Feel

when one feels too much...and is always breathless...

I like seeing a poet trying new things.

jm

only you could give love that satisfies the soul...
see the darkness of my heart and still won't let me go.

Regina -- no need to apologize -- I think it's truly GREAT when one can make the most with the least...  reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a professor's file cabinet:  "I've been doing so much with so little for so long that now I can do anything with nothing."  I LOVE that one!  "Walking dead"...  that's a scary thought -- not "Night of the Living Dead"-scary, but flashing back to so many people out there who are as you describe...  if only their fires could be ignited to get them to realize that there's SO MUCH MORE to life than an office, a boss, an image/judgement in somebody else's eyes...  Thanks for the read.

...and I'm glad you do, Sandra, for then you have realized one of Life's important "secrets" -- risks are meant to be taken (intelligently and heart-felt, of course) in order to truly experience and understand the concept of life.

Thank you for the visit, JM.  I'm honored and pleased to have you pondering over some of my words, for that to me is at least as important as having a reader simply feel them...  This series of poems is a learning experience unfolding in so many different ways...  

Glad you're enjoying these as much as I am, Sunshine.  Thanks for the reads and replys.
