Knowing Me

Do you really know who I am
or do you only know what you see?
Do you know what makes me tick
or what really makes me me? 

Do you know why I am here
or what I’m here to do?
Do you know how I see me,
or how that me see’s you?

Do you know where I came from
or where I want to go?
Do you know where my happiness lies
or how to touch my soul?

Do you know what makes me sing 
inspires me to grow?
What makes up all of Kimberly
Please tell me what you know

I only know what you show me.... for now. Oh, yes , Kimberley, I can try to read between the lines. But what if I get lost in translation. ? Then what. That’s why I enjoy a good “ back and forth” with poets, to help know better what layers of meanings might be there. If you ever get to Maine, give a call. Patrick in Eastport.

Hi Kimberly. I know you like to write rhymes and have the courage to share them with strangers. I know you have a smooth beat and good meter in your words. I know you like to avoid punctuation (as do I to the dismay of many here). I know you like a good risque Limerick - thanks for the comment. Now I'm hoping to know more about you through your other poetry. Nice to almost know you. Joe
