how
did you
with so few words
and that infinite glance,
detour the world’s cruelties
never speak of forgiven mistakes
allay every fear and each lingering doubt
absorb life’s injustice in your enormous heart?
and the electricity of fingertips awakened my senses
yet i never thought once i deserved to be loved.
and now curling safely in it’s cradle embrace
how, is a question i hope has an answer.
but
how is
that question
i’ll continue to ask……

I have been commenting on so many of your posts as I am reading, and i am afraid that I am redundant. It just that i am not as gifted with words as you are. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking and well written post.
Blessings,

oh don’t worry, you’re not at all and i will beg to differ
based on your poem i read and the heartfelt and perceptive comments
you’ve written, that you are not gifted with words. i’ll have more to say
later when i reply to your post, but i have to catch some sleep now.
ty for rummaging through the attic, these are some of the very first poems
i wrote after never writing poetry before. i do appreciate you taking the
time to appreciate them, they were a huge leap for me to write.
