no one can be certain what's inside a man's heart and no one can tell you what he means when he holds you close in the night no close friend analyzing his emails over coffee and bagels no psychic with her hands to her temple and her fingers in your wallet no psychiatrist who lies you on his couch and lies to you by the hour no dr phil no oprah no one all you can do is look into his eyes breathe in his soul and trust yourself accept him for him and open your heart and with whispers in the night and gestures in the day he'll reveal everything walls between you will fall and build strong around you both
unsure eyes
will learn to
focus
will learn to
focus
on treasured realities
and
no one
will be able to take away
the joy
you have won
you have won

i like the boundless ...i could say optimism of this... [but i can't quite...]...i'd rather say i like the feeling that these are the words of someone who will endlessly search...even in a casual sense...with a glance and a sudden narrowing of the eyes...noticing...when something is added...being open is the thing...and optimism can never quite explain that...i have one of these kind of poems...misplaced somewhere... about a woman i knew was destined to leave me...you do know don't you... when what you see...isn't quite shared...and the missing things are a difference in nature...or a matter of time...as you can see i liked this...
ReplyDeleteWe are mutually circled in G+, but it is true that sometimes the clutter and ever flowing stream doesn't let one discover those things that really count.
ReplyDeleteThank you for "no one". Even though English is not my first language, and I sometimes have difficulties understanding poetry, your words made it through completely clear.
The leap of faith we sometimes take when coming across someone new is very vivid and alive in your writing.
You have a wonderful way with words, even though you will say you hardly ever rhyme. :)
no one. What a beautiful poem. I'm sharing it with my wife. It's now my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteTruth.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
