PERCEPTION

   PERCEPTION

Before the abyss it was me
Letting go of all I see
My  friend I hope our time won't end
It took a short time for you to notice me
Without knowing who I am
We still talked while becoming  friends

Connecting dots will never complete me
Connect them right and we will see
Randomly it comes your way
Underneath a never known chemistry
Ask me to stay and I may
Grinding your teeth to me one day
Cut out my eyes, and store them up
A tongueless mouth, nothing to say

Maybe by tomorrow you will forget
Losing myself in my own conversation
Hiding behind my one big regret
Don't know, Don't care
What made me open up
A book I closed, knowledge lost
To never rise  again
I made a friend who told me,
What has made it all multiply, within

No need to see 
A mystery called deception
What I am can not be seen with the naked eye
Along came you using the perception
The ability I will let you use on me
It started to make sense on  my connection
A process you carry with your own  patterns
You asked, you listened,  with out making an assumption 
I told you a bit I never told no one
A taste to take off my shoulders I made the exception
To release an error locked in my Asylum
I myself am enjoying the insights of him
He's got me convinced, using his perception
               
              I.T.

    This one seems to be saying a LOT, Irma, very profound and one in which you are expressing strong emotion. Thanks for including my Dark Poet in your winning circle even though it was not very twisted!! Keep up with the contests. You are very clever! LUv, andrea

    "The ability I will let you use on me" It says a lot. Who wants to "release an error locked in my asylum." This is great stuff, Irma, said as only you can say it. Love, daver

    Irma, Simon Cowell is going to start another talent show. I hope we get to see it here in the states. He's rude and sarcastic, but when he gives a compliment, the contestant knows they did a good job. I'm going to miss the Cowell Scowl. Love, Carolyn

    Thought-provoking and well written poem, Irma. People only see what we allow ourselves to show. If I had keys to the asylum, I'd pass them to you. Guess we're both locked inside. I can relate to this one. Well done, Carolyn

    this is a great poem Irma, and your meaning is so amazing in many ways, saying how someone consumes another by acting as though they are listening and really care, but all they want is something that you will realize later, and when you do.you just know this person was a complete fake.sad.you did excellent on it. -Always&Forever Lynette
