Wow, it feels great to get so much feedback and for poetry no less. Thank you all so very much. Here's another poem, it's a little more abstract, I think, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Want Not
A huge grin plastered on your face,
As you circle me.
You want to put me in my place,
You want to truly see.
You tease me without knowing that you do,
You push and pull and take.
You want me to run away from you,
But stay for both our sakes.
You smirk again and dare me to remain,
Here living without a life.
To resolve this would be in vain,
You could cut the air with any knife.
Knowing what I want to hear,
But not prepared to say.
You're drowning in a sea of fear,
To keep my own at bay.
At times you want to let me in,
To see what you want to hide.
The line between us is growing thin,
To me you want to confide.
It's 11.33pm here in Melbourne, if, when I wake up tomorrow, someone has been kind enough to leave a review, flattering or otherwise, I promise to post another. I think 'Crystal Blue' which was written perfectly for Gibbs' eyes.
