Everything You Are

Everything You Are

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

I met you
upon no pretense
except perhaps to
make a new friend
and then
upon first sight
I felt a kindling
a kindness,
a kindredness
that has grown
into something
beyond any notion
I may have possibly
imagined-
 
There is a connection
beyond words,
beyond understanding
fully.
 
Yet it leaves me
whole now
beyond comprehension-
enveloped in emotion,
love and longing
to be by your
side as often
as possible.
 
How could something
begin so innocently
and grow to such
depth like that
cavern of an
empty heart
I once had
now filled, fulfilled
with you and
everything you are.

It is the picture of the flaming heart that drew me in but it was your words that kept me reading. I used the same picture on one of my poems. You write so beautifully and have a great flow to your work. I will enjoy reading more today.

Thanks for sharing

This is really sweet. I think that's the way love starts for most of us - unexpected and out of no where. Plus, it probably a great thing to start out as friends. It sets up a good base for feelings to grow and strengthen. Love you poem!

The greatest relationships come as a pleasant surprise, especially when you start as friends and become so much more, it's like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.... a beautiful look at that fantastic metamorphosis. You always pen with delightful passion.

Wow!
You hit the core with me!
May favorite part was
'I once had
now filled, fulfilled
with you and
everything you are.'
