Pieces Of Me
A Poem by
Brandon
When we are children
we say forever.
(I can remember being a small child )
Then when we grow up
more and more.
Often, we say never.
(And the first time I have ever felt love )
Let one throw the stone
who claims its easy.
(I was so alone )
To see the invisible.
To touch the intangible.
(I knew of nothing so pure )
Hollow be the name
of the one
I have yet to see.
(Always trying to get different perspectives )
Every day seems to me,
one more dream.
Until she comes to be.
(Ill be by your side )
Of the flowers,
tears birthed from me.
Dew drops onto the grass,
from the sea.

This is a good poem and is indeed pieces of a person. Yet I see it as two distinct poems.
Taking the whispers out, it reads as a child's thought and dreams.
Reading the whipers alone, they come across as a reflection from someone a little older who does remember the voice and yearnings of youth but who is now prepared to accept that things are different, and in seeking those different perspectives will remain by your side - even by the side of the youth that was.
Again, I may be seeing more than there is, but this is what I get from this poem.
Regardless, I liked it very much.

Another deep write; I enjoyed the format and style, especially the way you put emphasis on inner thoughts.

Very strong beginning. And so true it is.
I read it aloud to myself and loved it more with every read.
Fantastic write.
