lest I be
some other me
and falter in my words –
gathered now
as broken verse to rhyme
else form concede
my soul to write
voices none can hear
of passions –
but a moment
almost mine
suffer me the limits
of a language
not my own
curs’ed dictionary
to repeal –
as witness
to my longing
meanings ne’er the same
lines constrained
forgotten not
to feel –
the blue
within the sorrow
azure
peacock
sky
e’er soft convey
the beauty of a kiss
would grey
the storm remember
smoke above the pines
– eyes the shade of rain
a morning mist
helpless pen
to struggle
where words – so few
remain
as part of me
a purpose undefined
by counted lines
or breaths between
the living and the tell –
a poem
I’m becoming
without a thought
for rhyme
. . .

You are the thought…, for the verse and the rhyme, Bobbie.

Thank you, Paul. I couldn’t quite figure where this came from – seemed like a combination of many things. I’m just grateful when the words show up. ~ Love you and happy heart day! ~ Bobbie

‘A poem I’m becoming without a thought for rhyme’. There is a certain sadness there, as if regret shows itself, when sometimes there seems no real reward for sharing the most beautiful part of our hearts and souls. There are some who breathe your words, my words, Paul’s words, so that our minds do not become empty hallways with no light. But we become dressed in their kind and pure love so that the words never die but are rekindled brightly by a true essence of self-less love that requires no exhcange in return only knowing they left a genuine smile to light the day! Sorry for rambling, but that is what came to mind. The gentleness of your words is always refreshing. You are very blessed Bobbie, truly a wonderful poet. I always wish I could bring my words together the way you do, with elegance that you do, but that’s why we are all blessed to be unique one of a kind…and you are! Have a beautiful day!
