Beyond What is Mentioned

You are there beyond what is mentioned when I rise from my chair
And predicting the future seems to always end in futility
I could walk with you through all these words that are foreign
But would I find I was burning in unutterable possibilities

Anticipation you cannot see in my stride when I move vaguely along
Plainly oblivious to all the grass growing under my feet
You see me breathing slowly and wonder how soon I will fly
Into phrases more pleasing than tasting honey is sweet

A temporary distance runs in a curve beyond what is mentioned
Your eyes seize the fire from half-truths you can hear
Present moment is held in nameless rooms hid in the dark
Where you try to read notes I penned for you there

I move vaguely along to plant footsteps that lead to my heart
Creating a path to free your own from this distance
I am not oblivious to the grasses growing under my feet
When I rise from my chair, I am anticipating a change
In our existence

creative perfection... and I really mean it when i say that some sentences took my breath away... "I was burning in unutterable possibilities", " You see me breathing slowly and wonder how soon I will fly"... and the last stanza melted my heart away.
beautiful poem and carefully written... I adore the story before all.

another moving and beautiful piece. You always carry strong imagery that allows the reader to see the scene you are describing.

[Melobldnfr]

Such strong poetry. How you wrap things up. "Where you try to read notes I penned for you there"... I just love it!

[Letemdangle]

I'm not sure what it is about, but I feel like a rag doll gently being pulled from side to side.

[Aidz]

Once I got the rhythm of the write happening I feel into it .......

The 3rd stanza is delicious Neva

[realmwriter]

This is kind of scary, but very good. Your metaphores are stunning to say the least!

There is always a messae beyond what is actually said....love this :)

[Dream Weaver]

I think maybe this is like a confession to ones self trying to
realize a change and praying that someone else realizes it
as well. or I could be wrong, nonetheless an incredible piece.

[Kenneth The Poet]
