Every Move You Make

You follow footsteps
Seeing where I’ve been and gone
Needing to know more

I know you’re watching
My intuition is strong
Your presence lingers

Every move you make
I can see from a distance
Reciprocal dance

You will never find
The true answer to my psyche
Discard that label

I am who I am
My inner world unexplored
Admission price: LOVE

was it for the enlightenment contest? That one was so hard for me. I just did not even do it. I really like the last one the best as a senryu!

I don't do contests, Andrea....This last one I entered...just floored me. I thought I'd do better than I did. That's it...no contests for me. I guess I'm not enlightened enough...

Eileen. I see this as a free verse the way it's all linked and well constructed around the way for someone to draw closer to another. Well done!!

I thought of it as a senryu string...but free verse works too. Thanks for visiting, Andrea.

Love is the best gatekeeper, Tyler to the secret river of your heart. When love meets love, a new mind is born. This is fine competitive poetry. J.A.B.

Thanks ever so much, Justin. The river is deep...and strong...and refreshing. It needs to be guarded...and guarded well. Thank you for your visits. They bring me joy.

Ilene...thanks, my dear. This goes both ways. We all are a little curious...and it's natural to want to find out more....but friendship is only granted when curiosity is a genuine desire to know someone more because we like what we see. Thanks for passing by...Hugs

Thank you, Dr Ram. Not everyone is, I'm sure. That is life. Can't please everyone. So happy to receive this note from you. Bless you! Hugs
