Hide Me

Hide me, take me to a place where my tears can fall onto paper and become words. Hide me, away from a harsh world that will not escape me. Only you, poetry will let me be me. Hide me, in between your lines, give a lonesome girl your warm sheltering. Hide me, in a dark corner where shadows blend in, only there can I remove this disguise. Hide me, in your peaceful sanctuary away from lying eyes, laughter and ridicule. Hide me, from this reality and take me somewhere .....better.

I will hide you in a place of warm feathers, hold you within the strong arms of gaurdian language, kiss you upon the flower of pretty might. I share in your vulnerability Kelly...J.A.B.

Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words, Justin. It seems like the only haven we can find is in poetry, or other forms of art, where we can be free to just be us.

I agree, Debbie. There are far too many lonely people in this world. But, maybe we really aren't alone, because everyone has felt like this before.... Thank you for the nice comments. Big Hugs to you :)

Dear Kelly, Poetry can allow us to "hide" in safety as it is being written. Once it is shared with the world, it can bring a catharsis "somewhere better." Awesome poem! Congratulations on your win. Love, carolyn

Within, without, we quietly shout. Till nigh be left not one last doubt. The spirit will reign within itself. And be preserved up on the shelf. The end begins when we say go. We live in mist of afterglow. The world will turn another day. And poetry is how we will pray.

Such a beautiful and poetic comment! Thank you for it, Robert.... I agree with you, poetry can cure. It has helped me through some tough times before.

Kelly; This is beautiful, but I get the feeling that you are feeling blue. Don't worry - that will pass. In poetry we can always be our real selves. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Thank you very much, Lucilla.... I have been feeling lonely and blue, lately. I haven't been around much, either. Just bored, I guess.... I think everybody goes through times like this. I hope it passes soon. :)
