Whole, In Essence.

by Poet on the Piano   Apr 22, 2012


I never paid much attention to what the sun
would feel like- if you were captured away
by someone stronger than I.

Would it be as round and glorious,
encircling the sky
as if it had boundless freedom?
Or would it become
unhinged-
taking after the misplaced irises
that used to say silently who I was.

I only know that I would still be alive,
even if I felt like nothing but the center
of a visiting hell....
my spirit cannot be fooled,
and if your presence threatened
to no longer exist,
I doubt I'd be able to pass it by
to keep moving with a laugh on my shirt.

Because when you tell me
what might happen,
I have difficulty hiding from your topaz eyes
and it's certain if you walked away,
I would burn by the sun's fires-
and never be able to live forever
in the love you evoked in me .

    Jeez mary ann...

    How do you come up with so many GOOD poems
    in so little time? I can't even.

    as always, the sincerity and softness
    that are never missing in any of your poems.

    I swear you write with such grace,
    I'm just in awe of your purity, and innocence and everything..

    the only thing I kind of didn't like her
    was...

    "I only know that I would still be alive,
    even if I felt like nothing but the center
    of a visiting hell....
    but my spirit cannot be fooled,"

    the but infront of "my spirit cannot be fooled"
    kind of threw me off a bit because there was a "but" in the above line already

    I think it would flow smoother if you
    simply remove the second "but"

    but, :P that's just my opinion :)

    I enjoyed this, gorgeous poetry as usual..

    MWAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AH.
