Familiar Stranger

by Sunshine   May 13, 2011


Captured by the sunsets falling behind
hills of your supreme eyes, I sink in the
surge of multilingual skies,
yet I never understand a word.

Exclamation marks tap at the end of my
side celebrating for rationales I am
unaware of, and where shall I rest
stranger,

for I don't seem to know my way back,
nor do I seem to ride the sensibility that's
heading back to my land.

Mysterious, wild innocence you carry
along with this memorable silence..

I wonder what's the first letter of your name.

    Brilliant! I really enjoyed this poem. The title caught my eye, and I loved the concept of this poem... I think about these things all the time... I'm always seeing familiar people and analyze things that others may find strange lol! But I loved how the narrator of the poem is trying to guess how she knows this person but still doesn't figure it out at the end... You could even write a sequel poem to this! Really interesting and I think the structure was very suitable. Well done hon :)

    "However once and now, do have more in "

    I think it should be "do we have more in..." Yeah?

    I absofreakinglutely love this poem. Generally I'm not a fan of the parenthesis and brackets, but here I thought it worked REALLY well. I read it with a different attitude, almost softer.

    What once was someone you never knew is now someone you do know...the familiarity is there but you do you REALLY know him? He is still but a stranger, with just a slight difference, he's someone you know but complex, confusing, quiet, withdrawn from allowing you to know how he really feels, thinks, acts etc.

    This is brilliant. "an unhurried shooting star
    that makes so much sense,
    or eventually will..."

    This is my favorite part. I am in so much awe of this piece of work from you Nana. This is amazing.
