Here, Hearing

you call,
in unspoken
whisper, hand to
breast
palm to temple

I hear you

it is not that
this ephemeral
mist does
not kiss your
eyelid
nor cheek

daily

nightly

you, searching
too intensely
in your lost

I am here

do not pick up
rock
nor look behind
door
do not become
so frantic
that you miss
my peace

in whispers, I
tease your
smile
awake

by gentlest of
touch,
your heart
beats

in slender move,
fingers
reach

now grow calm
as deeper the
fire begins
the burn
to blue
you

shall
hear in
the silence
now drawing
near to thee, seek
me yet once again

in solitude

or in companion

here, I am hearing
you

now…

now pick up
your pen

and in this muted
soft,

in this contemplate
of soul…

envision…

words

they will come

here, I am hearing you

scratching….

the words return
shining in your smile

weep with me

your gifts are beauty

Lady, you have penned a treasure to be savored....over and over again. Hugs you.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

This entire poem was like looking in a mirror, somewhat uncomfortably. Damn, not sure what else to say. Really a great work here.

I hear
all you say...
every syllable ingrained in
the stone of a mind's
memory...

To write
thoughts from the depth
of deepest ocean
to the shallow
of a clear spring's
pond..

That I might once 'gain
see

the words that bring
the write...

Lady, this is amazing...
and I am smiling...
You have a way
of pulling the reader
into your grasp...
and holding them there
until...
the very last
word.
Thank you.

Wonderful dear Lady - I am in awe. Chris
