Reading You Reading Me

By Nehema

You write, I write
Listen to me as I punch my keys.
Walk in my dream, fair lady
These words spill from my mind
You do not have to rhyme
Just feel your way through
It always sounds better in rhyme
I am just too slow
O yes it does, but to feel is greater
These words I share are meant to please,
And so they shall even if they're just for me

Where do you live?
Like where on the planet
Through my mirror I feel you
Time zone;
Where the moon and sun kiss in crescents,
Words creep from vision behind my eyes
The images that follow are like a sunrise
Though a frequent occurrence, its always new
Each passing day
Emotion that grew emerges,
Sadness breathes in my deepest thought.

It will be lost on here,
And so I write every feeling on my heart
I scribble them on the notepad of my mind.
Stay with me..
I think I just fell in love with you
That was beautiful, this is fun.
Over and over,
By each passing hand of time I fall in love with you
Between the lines of both our worlds I stand
I stand here waiting for you.

Speechless I lean closer
Not wanting to miss you
A single feeling or the softest kiss
Your thought is my cape of pride,
So delicate and ethereal; this mirrored place
I am dying to touch your face
In a roulette of thorns and kisses my heart stands
I bleed as I smile
Every drop fuels my longing
And that keeps us together

Every nerve alive
I am free
May your beauty breathe these words,
I feel you inside me
Lurking and prying
Sharing my misery, my pleasure, and pain
Fulfilling my desire

Stay with me..
Take my heart
Let it read the glory of your throne
Queen of hearts, take my heart
Slave me; take me out of libertys hands
Take my outstretched hands or burn them
You choose.
My dying heart dies to please you
Through deception I wish I could make you fall in love
Either way love is love
As life is life and time is time.

Worthy of your matrimony I am not
But forever a slave to you
You seized me as destiny does unto time,
Look my way and blind the sun
Make a bow as the moon does.
This hurts and soothes
Confused I am,
The only certainty I hold on to is my love for you.

Amen!

Collab with revlis. This is what good poetry does to me when I read it and apparently when I write it with someone brilliant like revlis. Thank you Superman, you know how to take a girl above the clouds...
