A Poetic Exploration

Why do you weep I wonder 

I hear your faints sobs 

I see you rubbing your eyes,

just like a little boy

I can't help but gaze,

heart softens 

I wonder about the core of your sadness 

does it feel the same as mine 

Do we hold our hands in prayer with the same heartaches and despair 

when we are alone,

drenched In our own emptiness 

I think I need to know 

I have a simple, arising yearning that gently taps at my heart's door 

come in, it whispers 

But I feel that I wont know just from my own interpretations

of your now mystery

it's a little superficial 

isn't it ?

Somethings pulling me closer to you 

and I follow 

out of myself, I now dissolve a little 

I'm needing something more now

I maybe need to travel with you 

in silence perhaps 

Back in time,

back to the beginning

together,

eyes softly exchanging glances  

Feeling your heart beating and your warm hands , as you hold mine 

need to read between the lines on your palms 

let the lightly wet sweat speak to my soul

and absorb the voices that speak without words 

in your bodies auditorium 

then maybe I will understand 

and have

                       at last

                                         truly found my HOME 

To be continued ...

Wow. Amazing poem! I love the imagery that you put in here and the word choice seemed so appropriate for this piece. Although I did catch several spelling/grammatical mistakes, overall this poem was really nicely written! Can't wait to read the rest :)

I found this to be very nicely written and it has beautiful imagery. I can't help but wonder how it could be continued; because to me it's perfect just how it is and it could even lose a few of the lines. But all in all, it was an enjoyable read. =3
