Imagining

Imagining

 

 

Did I know you before today

your eyes

are familiar to me.

And there’s a touch

that lingers on my skin.

 

Is it my imagining.

 

Have these lips

caressed your face.

Have these arms

felt your embrace,

wrapped in one understanding.

 

Did I know you before today,

your glance

leaves me wondering.

It’s in your smile,

something left unsaid.

A touch that lingers on my skin

 

Or is it my imagining.

This poem reminds me of the song I just haven’t met you yet. It seems here that all your imaginings have landed. What a lovely situation to find yourself in. A lovely poem. Thank you.

Ahh yes, I believe you refer to a Michael Bublé song.
Thank you for thoughts Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Yes, what a song and what a singer.

Funny how some people can affect us like this. I have met a few in the past that I feel I have already met before and know intimately. At least it felt that way. This was nice. I enjoyed reading it tonight

Thank you willweb

I'm not sure what it means when you can't remember them. Either you were really social or you're getting old.

The words are not literally spoken to the person. It is a narrative coming from a mind whilst having a brief encounter with another. It is about having the experience of meeting someone and experiencing a strange sensation, a romantic notion, that you have known this person all your life (so to speak). Thank you for reading my poem.
