A Poem by idiotproof--1
"

my first try at a love poem

"
I wake to catch a fleeting glimpse of you
for only a second I know what love is 
as you disappear so does the feeling and I am numb again
I fall into a cold sleep and in my head I see you
I feel your warm embrace 
like a fire in my soul
the love is gone when you are 
but the wonder stays
what would it feel like to actually touch you
if my eyes met just once with yours
would they open to the rest of this world
and stop seeing only darkness
if your lips touched mine would I be able to speak sweet gentle words
instead of the poison daggers that fall from my lips
though your a world away 
if I ever reached for you would you reach back
do you wonder who the mysterious girl
dim and cold is
do you ever ask who the woman ushered by shadows could be
as I do about that fiery girl
warm and untamed
the one who cuts through my darkness
I just know your the one for me
after all my world is only a reflection of yours
I am only a reflection of you 
one world apart 
far enough to never meet 
but close enough to dream.

Hard to be so close and so far.
"I am only a reflection of you
one world apart
far enough to never meet
but close enough to dream."
I enjoyed the poem. Made me wander to days of wishes and hope. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Very cool! I really like the first few lines. Nice hot vs cold imagery throughout... also, "the poison daggers that fall from my lips" is impressive. I love the last two lines, and I am intrigued by the idea of reflections in the final part of the poem. Nicely written!
