Reflect

7/10/12 --------------------------------------------------------- I’ll be back for another glimpse of you It’s crazy what you make me feel and do As long as I know you are around, I’ll be calm, safe and sound I wish I can be your mirror, To help you see what I do— To block out all cruel fear But the more I reflect off of your being, The less and less of you I am seeing You seem to leave me in the soil I want to grow—but I fear I will spoil, Before I ever get to see you in light To watch you fly—to release the kite They didn’t clap for you. . . All was dead But the sound of my fearful applauds plagues my head I want to show you that I care But I can’t find you anywhere Lost in time but never forgotten, Do you want this seed to turn rotten? Do you want to see my downfall? Do you not want to see me at all? Maybe this is all a cursed illusion I hate being stuck in the ground of confusion Dig me out and tend to the rot— Show me if you care or not How long shall I wait around, For something lost and never found? I want to ease your wanting brain, Before all emotions are left to drain I guess if time will allow you back with me, I’ll just have to lend you the mirror, To find what YOU see I shall reflect all I can for you Because right now, I don’t know what else I can do

Very interesting Laura. This makes me think of a lot of past experiences and a lot of failed communication/relationships. Fortunately, my life has worked out well in that regard, but it took a while. You write like a young person, but seem so wise. Your poetry is mature. There's something about it that's thought provoking and charming. I would like it if you would read my poems every now and then and leave a comment. That would be a little bit of kindness. I'll do the same 4 you.
