Over the Moon

Sometimes, when I speak to you
     my true feelings I shyly hide,
to put them in a secret room
     and keep them tucked inside.

Opening my heart takes time
     it's a spot reserved for very few,
but, in it there's an empty place
     that's perfect for me and you.

Your words allow me to dream
     they send me right over the moon,
and I am drifting amongst the stars
     even when it's mid-afternoon.

Your words charm like warm wind
     they float to me like a tune,
my spirit is freed once again
     and I'm sent right over the moon.

Never stop wishing on that star
     though our future may seem bleak,
keep writing from your heart
     and eventually mine will speak.

A tender piece full of marvelous phrasing and vivid imagery... '...charm like warm wind,' '...drifting amongst the stars.' Well done Kelly! Best wishes, Keith

Thank you also for your nice visit, Dorian. I appreciate that you took the time to read and comment on my poems... I think many poets are shy and writing is a way for them to express their true feelings. I know that is true for me :)

I really enjoyed your poem. You really have a talent for writing. I saw a glimpse of myself within the piece. I to have dealt with shyness. And writing allows me to express what's in my heart. When you get a chance stop by page and let me know what you think.-Alexis

Thank you once again for your nice comments, Wally... I always write from my heart, but this is the most open I've ever been in a poem. My shyness tends to get in the way, though I'm overcoming that a little more each day.

Shyness is not easy to conquer, but there's nothing terribly wrong with it! Somehow I was often attracted to shy girls, so it must have its pros, too! Enjoyed this romantic and delightful poem, Kelly. At least written words give you a great helping hand:) hugs // paul

Being able to express my thoughts through writing has helped me a lot. I'm still shy in public, but since I began commenting here I've learned how to be more open with people... You're right, there is nothing wrong with being shy. I think it is often misunderstood... I'm happy that you enjoyed my poem. Thank you, Paul :)
