You don’t know me…I’m a fan…
I take your thoughts inside my head,
and devour them like sweet pieces of ambrosia…
Savoring each meaning,
until I’ve drained their juices dry…
Sometimes your words are so intimate…
I feel as if they are meant for only me…
But, how could that be?
You don’t know me…

No, you don’t know me…
but we share our thoughts, our emotions,
our ups and downs…
Painting on a shared canvas,
we are splashing with words of many colors…
Side by side, we share this love, this art…
We touch each other’s souls and hearts,
but how could that be?
You don’t know me…

You don’t know me…yet…
not by name, or sight, or touch…
But you do know you…deep down,
where no one can see,
where you hide the real you…
You know the laughter that bubbles up,
at the wrong moments…
And the tears that are kept behind your eyes…
You know your own heart,
and write of pain, sorrow,
love and life…
You don’t know me…or…Do you?


Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

That is the beauty of reading others poetry...the times you connect and feel as if you do know them...and of course some reveal much of themselves thru their writing...James

Beautifully said, Sunnyone, and so very true.

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.
