Would You, Please..


Would you recognize me
through the tears,
that myst and cloak my world?

Would you see beneath
the coverings, the heart
that's tightly furled?

Would you see behind
the wall of grief,
that hides the soft within

To recognize,
in darkness of,
this life, I've settled in?

Could you hold me
in the warmth of words
to calm, caress, the fear?

In shadows, could I
reach your touch
and know that you are near?

Would you recognize me
if I smiled, when thoughts
of you unfold?

Would you allow this, please
each morning's rise
this pleasure, mine to hold...

If the person you had in mind doesn't say yes, they are just insane!!  This is absolutely beautiful and tender...loved it!!

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

You write such tender sadness Wynter. You do it with such beauty!

"Would you recognize me
  if I smiled, when thoughts
  of you unfold?"

I just can't get over the meaning one can get out of that!

This is so beautiful...you have such a way of flowing rhyme and pattern and yet it never gets in the way of what you're saying with your words.  Wonderful!!!

Thank you Sunnyone...it was  sweet of you to say so...I had a very  upsetting morning and for some reason this came  pouring out. It isn't my usual style, but sometimes you have to just let it flow.  


Thank you Marge ....my naked thoughts
unfolded  easily this morning.

I have always prided myself that rhyme and rhythm come naturally to me...and in many forms ...so when it begins to flow, I let it alone. I can always write it in another form  but the first is the best for me.Thank You

Poeminister, thank you for reading and responding
