A Closer Look At Me

With a heart wide open the world can see my way.. Like laying naked in the rain, the drops of water touch and say.. Spilled out on a table where candles light a dark sky.. All my lost secrets served out for strangers passing by.. Judging me for the past and decisions made without sight.. Now blindfolded in a corner of a ring for an unfair fight.. Look closer into these slightly weathered eyes and feel just me.. Some wrongs made right over time is maybe the best you'll see..

Amazing. Perfect. We all find that place where we must look at our own self very closely You should read my "woman in the mirror" it was a really good hard look at my self. The hardest thing I ever wrote

You do have an open heart filled with love, Michael. It doesn't matter if your eyes are slightly weathered, you still allow us to see things clearly through them. So take off the blindfold and prepare for a fair fight with an opponant whos is kindhearted like you. Love, Carolyn

To Mimi Hong, I say so long, Your thoughts are yours, I think your wrong. Your act on stage deserves the gong. On poetry soup you don't belong.

Michael being open comes easy to beautiful souls...They know that they're not perfect..yet they keep getting up, trying to be better, with no pretense...because that's just too much work! And as for Ms. Hong, is it? Maybe she saw what she wanted to see, but definitely not what your poem is saying. Great introspective write for my Fav. List! Always, Annalise

Thank you Constance, I know she has done this before on here to other poets.. Kinda surprised this classless piece of garbage is still aloud to write or comment on the Soup.. Think I will email them about this person... thank you Constance for your kind words...Michael

Don't believe this Hong person, for one second, your poem is beautiful to those who read with their heart and soul ~~
