Haven't seen you for awhile,
   you've probably wondered where I've been
I've been looking for a life
   out of the box that I am in
Peering through...
                  the holes displaced
   by unpropagated whim
It's the "Sea of the Unfaced"
   that I find I cannot swim

   But you can't read between the lines
      I've said at least a million times
         the Soul that I've become

Haven't seen you for so long
   You contemplate just where I've been
I live between the lines and holes
   from which I peered,through which I'm seen
Steering to...
              another place
   by unknowledgable fear
It's the one that I encase within
   the heart that sheds a tear...

   for everyone that I embrace
      You know,I still can see his face
         within the Soul that I've become

(big hugggssssss) Oh Geoffrey, I think I too can relate to this, sweet friend, it can be hard when it is difficult to see but if you believe in underneath you know the faces you know are deep down! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Geoffrey, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I really like the style, or the form. My English is not good, need a second read to understand what the poem is about.

I decided to vote.

GREAT to SEE U AGAIN
