It’s Metaphysical You Know

division is something you and I share 

like the razor to an unclipped beard on a sweltering hot summers day 

the tendency to need each other is there 

but if the razor remains unused it remains sharp 

the beard may be itchy, 

yet it hides the pain 

just like a spring flower 

counting on the sun to rise for each new day

I too, count on you 

just to be there 

even when you are not 

you feel it, 

I know you do, 

it’s metaphysical 

(please touch me)

it has to be 

because that’s the way it is 

simple 

unconcluded 

open ended 

no beginning and no end 

at least no end for now 

but nothing remains the same 

so thanks for being there, 

even though you are not 

you make me feel like I need you 

but, 

like everything, 

that’s just another 

unkempt force 

in my imagination

This was good but got sad at the end... It is hard to be without the one you want and need that one person who makes you feel like they are a part of you.. Thanks for sharing

Such a need is part of our genetic makeup; ingrained, never abstract, though our thoughts are often highly abstract emotions that are almost beyond our understanding.

I understand this poem, understand the need; have just the once, when the barriers lowered far enough, experienced a rejection that almost destroyed me. Happily the result was my beloved son Charlie, who at this time in my life, (aside from some good friends and a wonderful family,) is all I need.

I agree.
"simple
unconcluded
open ended
no beginning and no end
at least no end for now
but nothing remains the same "
I liked your words and thoughts. The above lines are real and true. Life is constant movement and change. We shall change too. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

we was designed to be with somebody,we`re not whole when we1re alone

wow, yes, just feeling the need of another, it is like that person is there even if he or she is not.

Imagination is quite the force...and your metaphors here have a force about them...

just to feel we need another...there is something to that...we are alive.

:) hi Audra - glad you ike this one - i was tapping in - but these emotions cab be universal for some, we humans - we play emotion so well, its what makes life interesting, it’s what keeps the pages turning - oh I am just thinking of a life without emotion - how drab! thanks again - sending love X
