The Blank White Page

you drew me back childhood friends then teenage lovers inseparable holding hands delicate verse public embraces everywhere you as parchment I as pen it was different then I don’t know when but we grew up grew apart forgot to care I wanted a bigger life years went by I moved far away but I never forgot there were other lovers some provided money some possessed fame some were just mere distractions none made me as happy as you I am so thankful that we are one again but I’m so scared you have changed or have I you don’t seem to get me anymore I need to know my words still speak to you still pleasure you still bleed my spirit into you am I being foolish I feel self-conscious your criticism makes me cry But my love, I adore you you hold all of the purity left inside me I will never leave you alone again

'You hold all the purity left inside me,' - that resonates with me!

Dear Gabrielle, I don't take to confessional poetry unless it's extra-ordinary and your poem is! Some of your thoughts are quite original. Furthermore there's little of the usual cloying and syrupy sentiments usually found in less talented writers. Best to you in your writing endeavors, and many thanks for stopping by to read my humor / M
