Notes About The Poem

Common- Words

In her words I see myself,
                     like a sweet whispering in the dark;
we each keep our words on a shelve,
it seems to me we share a common spark.
We surrender all our deep emotions for others to find,
releasing our grief and lament;
          trying, trying to leave our sorrow far behind,
but, both can write of nature's sweet scent.

And we pen poems of our once upon a time, 
with odd patterns and layouts we find quite poetic,
         in free verse, verse, sonnet and lovely rhyme;
we pour our souls into lines that may seem pathetic.

And like me, she is not afraid of introspection,
     where words unspoken grace our written pages; 
in fragments of her poetry I can see my own reflection,
             and words that will last the ages.

Oh, perhaps in dreams our Muse's meet,
and bring us inspiration and words of deep love;
of faith and God and angels sweet,
     and poems of sorrow for those who dwell up above.
I find trinkets wonderful in her poetry here and there,
                 and I believe we share a mutual style;
where sometimes our words read like a prayer,
          and then, at times can bring a poetic smile.
