I see you deep
inside your skin,
past flesh and blood
to what’s within,
the Holy Grail that lights your soul,
that fills you up,
that makes you whole,
pure-driven fire of truth to me,
that only souls
can feel and see.
you are not real,
could never be,
but forged of light,
and filigree;
Imagined love,
sweet fantasy,
I found you deep in heart of me.

I find myself holding my tongue of late when it comes to commenting on poetry–and yet I will say simply: this resonates.
Many thanks, Shawn. It is difficult to comment on poetry. It is so subjective.
So very true.
Be well….S.
Thank you, Shawn. I must make every effort to stay well, these days!
Good.
You ask what is my imagined love? I never feel a need to imagine it because with so many children and friends, I am surrounded by love… a warm, glowing feeling. This poem captures the deeper feelings. Thanks for sharing, Niamh. <3
Thank you, Betty. I am also lucky enough to be surrounded by love and do not need to imagine it. I have tried to capture the truth of love that is within…
a blooming rose
beyond the depths
of the deepest soul
your dreams
there you will find.
such fire and light,
sight for sight,
in the words
you weave
from in your mind
upon the page.
you touch me quick
and deep
with meaning pure
and deep in heart,
you find me.
a blooming rose…
