Sojourn - You

It is a compilation of several poems, rain, et al. Sometimes we are jubilant to find lost love, while sometimes we could not keep it for fear of missing it once again. �Sojourn� demonstrates the different phases of love one has encountered in life.

 

You

 

You are like you

You seem to do this

You seem to do that
you are like you

 

I never said to you

To be like me

Only, I begged a lot to

Realize the pain that

You caused being

Only you and you

 

I never said to you

To act and preach

What I would say.

Only, urged to make you

Feel what I would feel

Without you adjusting

With me

 

I never said to

Enforce something

On you.

Only, questioned you

What if, I would lose my

Words, would you lend me

Yours the way I required?

 

I never said to you

To lose yourself

Only, cried to you

To see what other couples

Do in times,

When one of them

Necessitated the acceptance

Of the either one

To let them be called

‘Made for each other’!

 

I never said to change

Yourself.

Only, requested you

Not to try to change me too,

But to feel me deeply

As I couldn’t change myself too

 

I never said to make

Yourself the other you

Only, said to mix

With me so that I

Can be called truly for you…

This poem is very true. So many people in life are either so selfish and into themselves, or they completely don't know who they are and try to pretend they do. You don't know who you are until you can be comfortable with what you say, what you wear, what you do, etc. in front of other people. What I love about your poem is that the speaker is not trying to change the other person, but just wants the other person to accept and be open-minded about different personalities/life-styles. Great job, thanks.

I am enjoying this series that you titled "Sojourn."

Sojourn, a brief stay to rest and re...connect, energize, flect.

Isn't it funny how some people seem to go through life seeing only themselves? While others never figure out who they are... hmmm.

I have learned that relationship is never a 50/50 deal. Each giving half to make a whole. It is so much more costly than that. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the deal as we give our all in the process of loving someone. If we are lucky they give all they have in return, and instead of being lost we realize we are finally home.

This was a beautiful self seeking and seeking the balance between him and her, we women love to let our possibilies open and sometimes we try to change the other one instead of to leave. For everything is just right, how it is. We learn with life, our waves are breaking on the shore. I liked !!

This poem has so many things going on/(for it)
I love the tone, I love the very powerful semantics, the fact that willingly or not, many can relate to, if not all, some parts of it. This is very good.
