Is this what you were looking for or was that confusing?



No, it was not confusing... I meant it... your poem is good.... I felt it... I wasn't sure what your meaning specifically was when writing it....


I have a penchant for layered meaning and sincere passionate expression... and your poem has these elements....


good work beloved...



Salaam....


Peace,

firefly- that was very nice of you to do I appreciate that very much I'll have to print that out and keep it Smile

Khalliqa-thank you very much Smile I like layered meaning in poems definetely!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a matter of fact most of what i write has layered meaning in it now that I think about it... 19 I wrote it during a time when I was trying to do a lot of self reflection.

Self reflection coupled with concentration and deep emotion are nice ingredients to create a very successfully communicative poem...

I "felt" your poem on some level Ms. Pretty.... so... your message was received... a connection made... that's a good thing...


I pray to see more of your work, beloved....


Peace,
Khalliqa

Yes, beloved... I know the feeling... when someone "gets" you at your deepest and most vulnerable... it is indeed refreshing "God loved that he be known" ... humans have that characteristic too.... your poetry... our poetry is a way to confirm the existence of the experiences we go through and serves to validate the reality of our sensory understanding and reflections upon our interactions with society and the world in general...

I am somewhat conflicted... some of what many say are my best pieces are also my most revealing and vulnerable....


I don't know we'll see....



Salaam....

I HAVE A POEM FOR AA.ORG

HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT

I CANT IMAGINE BEING WITHOUT YOU,
I CANT IMAGINE NOT HAVING YOUR TOUCH,
I CANT IMAGINE NOT KISSING YOU,
BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL MISS YOU TOO MUCH.

I CANT IMAGINE NOT HAVING YOU
I CANT IMAGINE NOT HEARING YOUR VOICE
I CANT IMAGINE NOT SEEING YOU
BECAUSE BEING WITH YOU HAS BEEN MY CHOICE.

I CANT IMAGINE NOT MAKING LOVE TO YOU
I CANT IMAGINE NOT KISSING YOU
I CANT IMAGINE NOT BEING WITH YOU
BECAUSE I LOVE THE THINGS THAT YOU DO.

I CANT IMAGINE NOT BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU.

I CANT IMAGINE

I wrote this Poem a LONG, LONG, LONG, time ago...I've been updating a poetry book I've created and and wanted to post it here.

Forum, For You:



Growing Up


When I was young, I was a......

Gabby but genuine, giddy but goofy, gullible but
Illuminated, immune innocent,
Real life was a royal pain in my rolling theatre reel.
Lovely lies left little lucid laugh lines lying in Lip gloss.

Then as I matured, I became a...

Willful but wise, wacky, wonderful, fine wine weeping into your wayward well;
Ornery but honorable one I was, obstinate but not obsolete to the homage you'd given to my hourglass figurine; figuring
Manners mattered much more, making small matters and small boy's mutters mute. Meet me meddling mildly, more mindful of my moody mixture, man, and
Allow a growing, amorous affection absolutely all the aching allowed; but this time
Notice the background noise and feel the nostalgia as we never nullify our need to nibble nirvana; as you write naughty names in Lipstick around my navel.
