I couldn't find my "You Are There" A challenge past ..."Here With Me" I searched the archives for words to share, And ran across a wish to be. Sometimes I read myself and think, "Did I write this, a tempting tease?" A poem saved, a memory Words of sharing, meant to please: ~~*~~ Imaging myself in the eyes of you Wondering just what your mind does view Each time the words caress the feel Of waiting thoughts, of touches real. I sought out sheerness, and found it twice Tried on its meaning, arresting, nice. Would please, and tease, I... feeling bold. Never thinking age is old. I sought out sheerness, and found each thread, Tempts the mind when shy is shed. "Bolden" not a word when pressed But that's the feel I felt, possessed. Sassiness is not like me, Adventuresome I try to be. I sought out sheerness, tried its wear It stood me proud... Wish you were there... ~~*~~ And even though the title changed And although meaning rearranged The challenged phrase of poet past Lies between my words I cast Upon these walls where many share You were with me, I wished You there. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Maureen I loved each stanza, but especially this: "I sought out sheerness, and found each thread, Tempts the mind when shy is shed. "Bolden" not a word when pressed But that's the feel I felt, possessed" Just beautiful! |

Thanks Martie. Do you ever go and search your own poetry files with a title and find one that appeals to you but makes you ask yourself if you really wrote it? I actually come back to passions search and check up on my own poems, not believing they are mine. * I never remember anything I write, the moment it is posted, I forget it except for maybe a title.

Thanks Nancy. It is a bit of adding and rearranging to say I missed the challenge the first time around, but I think this poem fits it. *s M |
