Have You Seen Me?

I had dark hair
my skin olive
and not fair
for I lived outdoors
in the sun...

I had bright eyes
that told the truth
and not lies
for I had the heart
of a child...

I had no band
to signify
on my hand
for I sought a bride
of my own...

I was the one seated in the middle.

I had strong hands
my touch gentle
as was planned
the slightest detail
of my life...

I had no beard
for mine was plucked
when men feared
that perhaps I was
as I said...

I had no clothes
for as I came
I arose
with all that I am
I love you.

See HIM all around! Bob this is remarkable!
I see Jesus, in the "middle" of the crowds here.

Of course depending upon the readers view, it's open to interpretation, but this is what I got out of it!

Great job!! Very catchy.

You're really branching out into some thought provoking poetry that's as welcomed as all your writings.  I see Jesus in you and many poets on this forum.  Thank you for sharing this piece.

Great work!  Just remarkable!  I really really am in love with the format, this was built marvelously!  And the single line contrasting in there was just an amazing idea, and it stood out so well.
Very great job!
