Still Here

< center> I want to ask of my family I want to plead to those who are near Please don’t look straight through me For I know that I’m still here Acknowledge my being Let me know I exist Please hear my pleading Please let my presence persist Tis as if I have no essence Tis Your disengagement that I fear Please see and feel my presence I may be passed…but I’m still here I try to touch… Reach to caress… But you can’t sense my lips to yours softly pressed Tis as if I have no essence Tis your disengagement that I fear Please, see and feel my presence! I’m so cold… but I’m still here. I’m so lonely…but not for long can you not yet feel the chill? For very soon you’ll join me I’m cold …but I’m here still

I love this poem... it's so good! It's probably... you'll never believe this... one of my favorites!Once again, I want you to know that this poem is incredible... you should really think about getting it published. I know a great website that publishes poetry in a book and you can win prizes. (It's a contest.) You could easily win; this poem is dynamite! Visit poeticpossibilities.tk and you'll find it under the tab: "Monthly Contest." You really should enter it... it is a truly outstanding poem.

Thanks Jacob, for your over the top comment! I see by your blog that you're just starting to post on this site. Keep it up, I think you've got it in you to become a great poet. One word of advice I give to all poets old and young is "description" You cannot be too descriptive! The more the better. Thanks again Jacob, looking forward to many more poems from you.
