Why I Hold Back

Why I Hold Back

A Poem by Britannia
"

A poem with repeating theme.

"
I don’t want to want you
so much,
that I become a husk that is sucked in and
spat out with your breath.

I don’t want to want you
so much,
that my feet shuffle obediently
to the drum of
your irascible fingers, unsaid.

I don’t want to want you
so much,
that my mind follows the cognitive foibles
that circulate your head.

These are my weaknesses that I try not to show,
This is what I don’t want you to know.

Hi Friends! I have been out of the loop for sometime. I went to a very intensive writes conference on Long Island and I had a lot of work to do abroad so have not been around. Hope I did not offend anyone by not replying. Well I am back now and would love to make contact with you all again.

In Zen ... it is said that the water in the pond does not reflect the image of the moon on purpose ... it just happens. Welcome back Brit.
