It's September... the proper month to repost the perfect poem. c/c?

Your thoughts

tumble

in my head

they

second guess me

You are

over my shoulder

a shadow

This was to be

again

the perfect poem

but...

I've tried to say it simple but

the words they will not speak

I end up

always end up

saying nothing that

I mean

who's to say your reading

even

but just in case you do

pretend I

never meant...

..

...

I still..

....

I remember you

    Your thoughts

    Of me

    Replenish

    Me

    And in your absence

    I am

    Satisfied

    That like a shadow

    You are watching

    My back.

    Your silence

    They speak loud

    Enough

    To make me listen,

    And I am stunned

    Which is

    Why

    Each day, each night

    I look for you

    Again…

    I think, if you remove the reference to itself

    "This was to be

    again

    the perfect poem"

    it will still present itself as an excellent work

    but perhaps that would alter its intent...

    Anyway, the style reminds me of my favorite poet

    e.e.cummings

    so, I LOVE THIS FRIGGIN POEM!

    hi, Sin :)

    Tell me your here

    Tell me your near

    Tell me more

    Tell me whats going on

    behind my back ....

    The moor-hen

    The cuckoo shouts

    Go now , get out

    my heart has lost it's way

    So I'm out of here today

    I doubted if I should ever come back

    Simply beautiful.

    September,

    and the leaves on the crossing log

    slip me

    into

    Fall

    First of all...WOW...HIYA...where YOU been?!? ;)

    Perfect is subjective, but, then, that also makes it viable...to somebody...perhaps the intended audience!?! But it took all the "tumbled" "shadow" and boiled the doggone mental chaos right out of it with the last line...broke it down to KISS...the elemental mantra of every real writer...Keep It Simple...Sistah?!? Cuz I jes cain't call y'stoopit! ;)

    I remember you...and, so...I've missed you! We'come back! :)

    I remember daisy chains

    and kyrielles

    I remember certain steps

    were learned

    I retrace the path,

    how it meanders;

    through running amok,

    I think of you often.

    I can finally see a purpose

    because I am doing

    what I am meant to do

    I can reach across miles

    of distace. right now,

    just to say, Sin?

    I'll always love you.
