Afraid of Dust

If I told you I am afraid of dust
that catches in places where I am tired
Would you still find me so amazing and fun
If I said what I think to those who have ears to hear
When I looked into your eyes
Would I still be the one

If the song I sing tonight is not a soothing lullaby in an upside moon
Will you still love me and the melody I create
Because no matter how my song plays; we can move on
To all those bright clouds
We anticipate

If I struggled to find words that washed over your skin like silk
That lingered dreamily in the light of your morning
Would you still hear the same sweet voice when I am tired
And afraid of dust that catches in places
On words I am forming

Author's Note

Will you love me the same if my words are not always so lovely to hear?

I think once you have love for someone, your always going have it. It might change form such as e.i when I was young and "in love with my first girlfriend when I was just in 8th grade and wanted to be her boyfirend. As now 4years later, I still love her just as much I just love her in a different way, as a friend. I think once loved is like matter, it can never be destoyed. However it can be created. Anyway I like you poem it quetoins the peroson if they really love you for you are or for what you can do. Good work!=)

Such sensibility in your writing.. Don't we all want to know that the loves of our lives love us even when we don't shine the way God intended?? Don't we all hope that our loves will filter us out everyday to see us pure for a new day?

Love shouldn't be dependent on what you do or say, but how you make someone feel.

You definately have a flow to your writing that is mystically beautiful.. Great job..

True love. No fancy bells and whistles.
Only the things that truly count

Seems however you put it, you need love to tell you that you are loved .. whatever. We all have doubts as to how much or little we deserve to be loved, but at heart - an appropriate word, we ask others to accept who and what we are. Your words put my interpretation in the most beautiful and sensitive, soul-searching way. You write exquisitely.

Words are an amazing thing. They can be good, bad, and ugly at times. We will not always say things that are pleasing to the ear but that is a reality of life. Love the way you presented the message :)

Another amazing read, Neva. I always enjoy your work!

What is love if it never returned, a basilisk of a poem that even made a tear form in my black mind, well done
