(Inspired by a recent poem posted here - can anyone guess?  writer can't guess it's been fun - may do it again)In the inner me I'm wrapped in thoughts of you I thought to write Of other things Things mundane that fill my days But you cloud my mind like haze Thoughts of weather Sun or stars Mountains or the beach Joys I felt before I had a clue I'd write and satisfy My need to pen And let me in This forum Where I met you But then the inner me spoke up I know not how or when A smile of you Your sparkling eyes Your words of shining beauty Once more the page had words I penned All you - it was my duty I smiled and read the words I wrote For everything was there Sun and stars Mountains, the beach You were in every scene Beauty graced the tawdry sand Far beyond my reach Today I read your words again Watched them float up off the page Wisdom, love, a heart of gold With the splendor of a sage I felt your peace, saw candles burning, Saw eyes sparkling in their glow In sunlight bright, in starlight's shine 'T'were yours certain did I know So you come to me again And I wonder why it's me Will you remain a figment Or persist - not let me be I want to read my poem to you Breathe it softly in your ear Seal it in with gentle kiss Wet the glue with loving tear When you come with furrowed brow Can I lose those muscles tense Will you let my gentle hands Chase off those sad events Or when the shower's tangled curls Can I blow, comb out the strands Give you oh such loving care You'll know just where I stand For you're inside the inner me And residence you've taken Brightened corners long forlorn I no longer feel forsaken So now I seek the inner you Feel I must return the favor I want to dust and shine that smile Let you taste my own sweet flavor We two our unity confirmed Our inner beings melded No sorrow, want will go unheard Our two hearts will be welded No cries, goodbyes, no nor sighs Forever love will bind us Lasting hugs and sealing kisses All there to remind us And so I ask again of you The inner you to join me Come fill my dreams Come fill my schemes We’ll be as one forever We’ll walk that aisle Wear great big smiles And never will we sever Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

To join the inner you would be to look deep in your eyes And find the man whose soul became the words I recognize To join the inner you would be to bathe in pleasure sun For you there is no half way mark, your love is all or none To follow in your poetry is following your words And songs of love intrinsic as a pair of loving birds Unspoken and unwritten words would be cast to the wind And deeds would then express the thoughts you’ve harbored deep within If deeds cannot portay the poet, only touch and feel Can well express what’s in your heart, the truth, the self, the real In openess and beauty you have let a spirit through To please your heart in rapture and to join the inner you Just responding in verse as you did to my poem You have written a beautiful poem, and she will cherish it, for sure.

GreenEyes- You do wonders for my self esteem - Thank You Karilea- I'm doubly thrilled when someone responds poetically - This is beautiful and deserves independent posting Elizabeth S- I should have known known - I'd get 'tit for tat' but your poetry is a direct response to my writing - and not what I wrote - - a new challenge for my next response to you Thank youMartie- You- and Karilea - and others are all so sure about "she" - yet no one attempts a guess at my source of inspiration for the writing context. (different from the 'who') - oh well - I won't 'preface' in the future Thank you Denise- Thank you - I'm glad I could please Sharon- A response from a moderator of your caliber - is always doubly gratifying - Thank you |

Ah Mr. Yeats, to actually guess at the person behind the inspiration would be like trying to dress a muse, yes? Wouldn't we all rather enjoy watching her provide you with the inspiration as it flows from your pen? Besides, I would hate to guess wrong! LOL...have a simply wonderful day...and smile! |

Bill I have to agree with Karilea. I wouldn't want to wager a guess. However, the poem is beautifully written and is so full of love and beseeching kindness...wonderful inner concert going on there...and the song is uplifting to say the least....ethome |
