To truly love me...could
you let me go?

Could I be as water cupped as
a moment in your hand?

Could I pass as the wind...close
against your cheek -
Whispering secrets to your night?

Would you let me go?

Would the moment...tender in its
brief expression last a
lifetime?

Would our secret be enough?

Sometimes there are questions that
require no answers.

Sometimes the answers leave us
wanting.

And sometimes we ask...just for the poetry.

Like now.

just for the poetry...

but isn't it all in the poetry? so are we asking for it all?

Nicely done... I enjoyed.

All of this
but only more
if you continue to share
just as you do...

Thank you Eric...

And I, my dear, let him go because I truly loved him.  In despair, I felt the water cupped in my hands trickle through my fingers slowly and painfully as he escaped me.  But through poetry, my answers are often found before I even know the questions.  Like now.

True love is a gift from Heaven I think .... so, even only a moment COULD be enough to remember the future expanding into eternity, a secret to share while life demands its sacrifices ...
A beautiful poem Eric, made of stirring questions... to answer or to enjoy ... like Now.
Love, Margherita

Not the first time
my eyes have been here...

Unless the caged bird enjoys
it's clipped wings...

if it doesn't sing
let it go.

Your poetry is timeless, Ericc....

we come back to read again, and again...

(sigh) Oh Eric, I am so happy I found this, I was busy during the time this was posted and fortunate not to have missed this! (big hugggsssssss) Questions are sometimes best left unanswered, there is no lie to that as long as the eyes tear and the smile glistens, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
