"Exciting..."

"Exciting..."

A Poem by Chris
"

thought-full

"
So many WANT exciting... so few KNOW what it is...
"Exciting..."

Is exciting - wanting more
knowing less
touching
being touched
-thinking of touching or
just what?

Is it - new
or Old - with the Cap intended!
Is it finally finding
a real smile - inside
that leaks out on its own?

Is it the colors 
of the rainbow,
the flecks within eyes,
the sunshine caressing your skin,
the tastes of tomorrows
you only dreamed of before?

Is exciting having
a tomorrow afterall?
A time or experience
you can have and share,
a reason to share at all?

You excite me you know -
careful, I bite.

I do believe many want exciting but do not know what they have, I do.
As much as I fear the bite,
here I am, with my own point of view.
My excitement...
Is found in my dreams,
I find hope, and that is where
I find my excitement.
A great write!

I like the exasperation expressed in the first question, which ends in a stondee metric.
I'm still trying to interpret the last line. I will read it a few more times. ;)

Me too.

...coming upon a smile that reflects feelings shared, not yet spoken, the words mere token of the being overwhelmed...such delight, the lightness of heart....

Good, I like being here! Thanks! happy new Year...new beginnings...
Is it the colors of the rainbow, the flecks within eyes, the sunshine caressing your skin, the tastes of tomorrows, you only dreamed of before.
This is by far my favorite line. I will keep this close to me. Thank you sir Chris, for having written this masterpiece.

Ha, go ahead bite me, maybe I'll like it. ;-) I'll settle for normalcy at this stage of the game, whatever that might be..................

Excitement means different things to folks." a real smile that leaks out on its own" I love that line. Thank you Chris. You are a true bard.

Through each woven thought...there is always a belter of provoking energy at the end...but then your writing never ends...it spins and spins within the mind taking on many faces and emotions...quite honestly...I am left awhirl xx
