Afraid of Dust

If I told you I am afraid of dust
that catches in places where I am tired
Would you still find me so amazing and fun
If I said what I think to those who have ears to hear
When I looked into your eyes
Would I still be the one

If the song I sing tonight is not a soothing lullaby in an upside moon
Will you still love me and the melody I create
Because no matter how my song plays; we can move on
To all those bright clouds
We anticipate

If I struggled to find words that washed over your skin like silk
That lingered dreamily in the light of your morning
Would you still hear the same sweet voice when I am tired
And afraid of dust that catches in places
On words I am forming

Author's Note

Will you love me the same if my words are not always so lovely to hear?

I think once you have love for someone, your always going have it. It might change form such as e.i when I was young and "in love with my first girlfriend when I was just in 8th grade and wanted to be her boyfirend. As now 4years later, I still love her just as much I just love her in a different way, as a friend. I think once loved is like matter, it can never be destoyed. However it can be created. Anyway I like you poem it quetoins the peroson if they really love you for you are or for what you can do. Good work!=)

We all love lovely words, don't we? We desire perfection and a perfect life. But, really, we are happy with those imperfect things. Why, we humans are imperfect! Which makes us perfectly imperfect? Or imperfectly perfect? Either way, I would still love your words as long as you keep writing, Neva. Your heart and soul are in these poems and that's all that matters.

I am afraid of dust, watching it as it floats free but wary of when it settles. Great poem my friend.

[MoriartyMesa]

Shades of The Portrait of Dorian Gray came to mind while reading your poem. That and Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Album.

Very nice image and a solid poem. I can't imagine dust catching on you word.
