Listening to every heart

Innately Internal

let me in, let me out
I have me now some
patience, bought and paid for
inherently as central most
normal is what I came for

instinct fails me
fail me not! for what I need
is touch

internally I look within
for there I need it
much

born was I of commonness
and find that less
is more

privately I seek inside
what I've been looking
for

and if I have that sense in …
… here …
then why can't I find it
there…out
there…

accustomed is my interior
and inborn is my central control
but I have yet to accustom me
to that beyond my whole

so am I the failure that
cannot be
the soul of my own mate?
am I so fundamentally
wrong
in this, my own mistake?

instinct prevails
then comes common sense
and then comes sense of
no regard

and while I dream of high on high
I sit thoughtfully
gathering up my own shards

and private, private
I keep my thoughts
inherent in my dreams

for this 'tis immanent
that I find internal seams

to question my normality
and quell my internal bleed
for what I think is natural
could be called crucial need

instinctively I reach for touch
is that then asking
for too much?

Perhaps not
when I all knowingly
reach externally
and find myself within the
you of me…

Sissie

Did you know that a term used in floral design classes and by the best floral designers, is "less is more"?  That's because the results is, like you, from simple to profound.  The touch you long for I understand, take my hand, you touched me with this poem!

Less is just less, I'm afraid....

...but while I'm told by some that we must all walk separately like so many wolves in a pack, with none of that "within" stuff....I don't believe it.

Looking for external validation is so dangerous.  Some times it just doesn't happen.  Quite the soul shattering, destructive reverse.  So when it happens, accept it, believe it, and treasure it!

Because you are truly wonderful, in your being, in your thoughts, and with the beauty in your poems.

Wonderful write!

The entire poem is fantastic... but these lines echo in my heart as questions asked, answers feared. *S*
