There is a mystery that surrounds
the air that I breathe,
as you come into focus.

These eyes, though encircled dark,
blink their awareness.
Their limitations sensitized
by illumination of your desire.

Is it no fault of my own
that the weariness I possess
reflects the loneliness
that keeps me in cloak?

Shall I adorn myself in pretense
to satisfy the needs of you?

My words are shorn,
many times pruned
to fit an image
that no longer exists.

For time has a way
of undermining my cut
leaving me short of expression.
My reserve, still jarred in keep
for that "whenever."

These eyes, will someday
be revitalized
when the mystery of you
begins to unfold.

I have missed you poutprincess...

so good to see you here...I hope you are posting again...you so often inspired me

I am spending  my time today matching up the poets names and real ones used in the "Reflections Book" so I can know who wrote what...
sure is taking me awhile, although I am almost done.

hugs

Maureen/Moonchild -- (I'm a flower eater myself) -- this was a wonderfully expressed write.  I do, too, really understand.  ....jo

i especially enjoed the last stanza of this poem... as your thought there, is something I can empathize with.

"These eyes, will someday
be revitalized
when the mystery of you
begins to unfold."

Thank you for a wonderful write!

You will have finished readding this"

(smiles) I believe every heart should have a pinch of mystery, but too much mystery can corrupt too much and too many secrets is never fun! (big angel hugs) May love be 99% open to you always, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
