Listening to every heart

For Whom You Write

It is for him, that intangible person
You’ve not yet met, but he has
Always circled the axis
Of your thoughts.

It is for him
That you quill your deepest
Secrets, your strongest desires,
Whispering ancient secrets
Not even known to you
Before he embraced
Your mind.

He has always been there
A faceless
Presence in strong-armed dreams
Of nighttime flights

Ingenious personified, a
Man strapped by grace and dignity
Wrapped in silk cloak and
Dark shadows

But the unique thing being, he is every
Man’s inner self, the one
He cannot by design present in
Public, but the one who lives
In his heart and soul

It is he, who bends in the wind,
Who perseveres to triumph
Over any obstacle.

In gentleness, he soothes,
By compassion, he argues for all rights
For all people.

Only his mind
Can best his own attempts,
So his will power is stronger.

He is who he is.
He visits my dreams.
I write my soul for him.

It is minor payment duly returned.

An absolutely beautiful poem, Karilea....

It is he, who bends in the wind,
Who perseveres to triumph
Over any obstacle.


I know this man well...and he does bend the wind!
Thanks for writing so beautifully about him, Karilea

Wonderful!! It describes that person we want to be with and the person we want to be.  The people we dream about in poetry from. I like it.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

"Some women don't know him when they trip over him."

Now those are the truest words ever written.  Lots of advise in this one dear friend.
