As If - You Wrote the Book of Me

Who else could possibly understand me the way you do?  You read me as if you wrote the book of who I am. Despite the fact, sometimes I travel where darkness presses against the sun, laying down nothing when morning warms the sweetness of life.  

On those days, when time casually says I am crazy and wraps around in streams that haunt me with a quaint imprisonment, your smile moves through me in a delightful pleasure, caressing my face with your ways.

Sometimes I sit with my heart resting on the winds of pain and sorrow, lighting up fear and anger in never ending skies.  You wait, because you know just what to do, standing silent, by my side.

Who else could possibly understand me the way you do?  When it rains, you never try to change the air I breathe.  When my sun is eclipsed by clouds of time and space, you never deny me the chance to stand with my eyes closed, until I am brave enough to open them and see.

You read me as if you wrote the book of who I am.  As time passes, I see that what is unsaid, stares back with a message that arrives on golden wings. No one else understands me the way you do.  Your fingers turn the pages of my soul, as if you wrote the book of me.

'When it rains you never try to change the air that I breathe...' that a grand compliment for someone who has captured the personality and life of another within the imaginationn, bringing to color what was once detailed in monochrome.

Delightful read...nicely penned with genuine emotion.

[EMF]

It takes depth of spirit to recognise the effect one person can have on you. More so to express it with such emotion, depth and perception. A wonderful read that reveals as much about the author as it does the focus. If there was one thing I would change, it would be to have not read it, so I could read it again for the first time.
Work such as this, that leaves a smile on your face after you have read it, is priceless.

If only everybody had someone to know them in such a way. Your words are like the imagery of a beautiful soul, and I am grateful to you--the writer-- for giving me the chance to read something so wonderfully written.

This is a magnificent look inside you, as well as across the vastness of the earth's song... There is nothing more beautifully moving as one who connects to us so deeply and knows us.. as if we were two sides of a coin.. Love the wonder of this..

The last stanza crept together perfectly with the whole piece itself. This was beauteous. I could feel the truth and honesty of the poem. Every memory and feeling lasted throughout. Wonderful, wonderful job!!

Yes we all have to seek who actually writes book of us. A very good emotional expression I love it much, more than my book

[Solidad]

You stood in love's skin and told all of it's secrets caressed my face and sang to my heart. This is a plane of respect no wax wings could fly to. A place that only the pure know and sacred live to talk about. J'adore. You've truly out done yourself Neva, love really just doesn't get any better then this.
