Him (not so much a poem but still from my heart, head, and hand)

by Victoria Ramey   Jan 13, 2019


He was an intensity I could not contain but could not walk away from. His presence demanded to be seen, heard, and felt. He was a world wind of emotions that wrapped himself between every muscle and bone in my body. His anger, his sadness, his passion and his love was never a gentle current, it was a tsunami of destruction. It consumed me, Empowered me, Controlled me. His life was always judged by his ability to act disconnected-unhurt. He used humor as a foundation that he perfected to fool the ones closest to him. He was popular by his own creation and masterful in whatever was thrown at him. He was a beautiful, unattainable, heavenly sinful man that believed no one could ever truly see him. But I see him. I see him with every shred of strength he uses to lift up his heavy, tormented heart. I see the despret want to rest his tired eyes and broken mind and finally feel some form of peace. I see the thoughts never spoken from his lips, his disconnected heart aching for another beat that would protect it. I see it. I see it all. I only wish he would see it too and realize he is not alone. He will, for however long I live, never ever be alone.

    I LOVE your voice in this. It's clear and emotional and touching, that promise he will not be alone. To truly have someone "see" us for who we are, in all aspects, despite despair and darkness, is a powerful thing.

    Change "him" to "her" and it feels as if you've plucked the unwritten words from my own mind. You are very articulate, descriptive, and command a use of subtle personification that brings the man's mere aura to life. Well written.

    *I thing autocorrect may have changed "whirlwind" to "world wind."
