Who Am I To You

… another written for Poetry month...

Who Am I To You (Poem #16)

 

 

 In the distant past,

when time framed your face

in the moon of my skies,

in the wisps of my dreams,

you paused,

turned in your journey,

to look in my direction,

and wrote a poem to me

that made my heart beat.

We talked,

messaged, shared journey stories,

and my heart beat faster.

And, I must ask,

who am I to you?

 

I often ask this

to your picture

that stares back at me

from my phone.

Meanwhile, the piano starts

with small notes

that introduce the words

I am thinking;

“it’s a quarter after 3 and….”

I want to know,

if you think of me

the way I think of you?

Always love seeing a flourish of new activity from you on this website again! *yippee!* I like the way this poem is more straightforward & linear than some of your others, which I have to work a little bit to interpret (since I’m not very good at nuanced poetry). You describe details so realistically, we can all remember a time when it felt exactly like this . . . a profile we think we know, with all the trappings of friendship, but how much true devotion can be conveyed when it’s only an electronic connection? I need more than this guessing game, myself (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Whoa Red Zone. Gorgeous lines and sweet thoughts. A worthy question and poem. I like how you number them.

[redzone]

I always enjoy your comments Sami, thank you my friend...

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome Red Zone.

dear Curt... I could hear the music in your poem... feel the passion in your soul... beautiful strokes of the master’s touch.
truly, Pat

[redzone]

it's funny how listening to music sometimes creates the atmosphere enabling you to write... the combo of life and Nora Jones and poof this poem... thank you Pat for hearing the music...

[redzone]

This seems to be the question of my week! Apparently, you are my teacher today! Since I have read your beautiful thoughts here....the new question in my mind is....Who do you want to be? Very thought provoking piece here Red!

[redzone]

and probably the more important question of the two... thanks Queenie, for the visit as well as a thought provoking comment...

i often still think of some old flames...and wonder if they ever think of me...but they are busy with lives...and probably not---there is one in particular i wonder about...always will.

[redzone]

thanks Jacob, yeah, I think there is always that one we wonder about...
