all that i had asked was a little touch of kindness
and all you did was give me a stare and a cruel smile
is it not true that a cold look is all you have for me
when all that i needed you to do is stretch out your arm

take a good look and see how i have been trodden over
and how my ship sways anchorless on this vast wavy sea
is it not true that i am your object of ridicule
while all that i needed was to have you as a close friend

oh! how you love to drag me down to smell dirt off the ground
and then you love to step on me, step on me, step on me

now i have gotten up and dusted your scent off my skin
and hid my feelings in the place where the trees touched the ground
is it not true that the darkest spots are where the roots scorch
while all that they do is dig deep in their search for water

it is for that fresh drink of truth that i thirst at this time
yet i stay here painting a lazy dream of deep languish
is it not true that dreams of you were high up in the sky
while all i had to do was breathe as the sea streamed past me

oh! how you loved to drag me down to smell dirt off the ground
and then you loved to step on me, step on me, step on me

SudhirMyFriend~
I really could feel the depth of emotion in this piece.
Excellent emote~

'now i have gotten up and dusted your scent off my skin
and hid my feelings in the place where the trees touched the ground'


And this is the perfect creative thought of poetic writing ... AWESOME~

(big hugggssssss) This is so very sadly written, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and I hope now you have been tapped on the shoulder with a caress of kindness and you have found love that is compassionate and can feel for your golden heart! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

WOW what a poem.
Don't know if it's for real, but if it is, you should let the one read it, that would set her back for a moment.
And if not, you could have fooled me with those strong emotions rising up.

Do I make any sense? Sometimes it's hard to express in English what I feel inside.

and a big to you my friend.
