i feel my poet breathing...
sighing...
needing...
i feel the ache of want
want for another heart
a heart to hold
a heart to keep...
my poet longs
for the rhyme of two
the ever-present drumming
of blissful reason...
my poet breathes more shallow
with each passing day...
when will you come
when will you find me
who are you...
do you stand in front of me
do you shy away from me
do you want me
do you fear me...
i can hear you breathing--
but i cannot feel your breath...
my poet
is lonely
my soul gasps
with a deadly thirst
who will come--
who will find me...

This is very good, and I enjoyed the sensation of the poet, needing, while to me, the person is you, acknowledging the poet inside...

Yep.  This is a Keeper.

i liked this... to me, it was as if you were talking about yourself being "the poet" and also talking about another poet you long for all at the same time... if that makes sense

i don't know if that's what you intended but i read it that way and it sorta created a very cool cyclical feeling

definitely a lot of emotion in this ... nicely done

I must agree with doreen, seems to be two poets in this read. Very cool trickery here.  

For I am the one who is me searching for you... or some crazy double speak I read somewhere.  

also I noticed a little sensual side to this piece, maybe you should come over so we can talk about it.

Gale,

     I love this! And I understand exactly where you are coming from. Your usage of "my poet" to refer to yourself intrigues me as I often refer to my own writings as something separate from me. I almost consider my words to have a life of their own written by another "person" that lives inside of me... the person who is trying to express his fears, wants, desires, and loves... and who is also looking for that other "inspiration" to complete his own talents. Well done!
                                - Jeff

(smiles) Awwwwwww, such beautiful thoughts flow from your golden pen! (sigh) I know just how you feel, but I believe as long as you follow your heart always, you will find the most dazzling inspirations and love! (smiles) The beauty of the poet is in your golden heart, and every heartbeat of love is always glowing with inspiration! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dgvarner, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I like the displaced dimension here.  To write in a third person place the needs of first person...Cool write!!

dg,
Hi.
I read this back then, just didn't comment, fickle fool that I am somedays.
Easy to see how this might be read another way, but I knew who 'my poet' was.  Interestingly, perhaps, if I read this as though it were me, I think of the 'who' as another poet.  I wonder, did you have that in mind?
Enjoyed this, I can relate.

dg-
  Ok...although this is an awesome write,
  I have to admit that it makes me sad.
  You know I understand and feel this with you.
  May your poet someday find another poet
  and together you will live happily
  ever after with your family of baby poets..LOL.
  I do love this...makes me want to come give
  you a great big HUG.
  Love and stuff,
  ~Vicky
