Lingering Solitude

Seen you now, hadn't then.
I felt your soul, want to again
A bystander, I was; A naive shyness.

Seen your hope, Seen your love
Cherishing nature, a torn dove
Your insidious laughter, smile, and torture.

A sentient heart, yet halo hued,
Reckoned with altruistic intentions a dope.
Walking the sands of time, a debut
Imbibing your lingering solitude
Realizing the love of thy gratitude

Be a dream, be unreal.
A naive shyness, cannot bare,
A love so sincere, so true,
Does thee deserve thy heart of kindness?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
