Meet Me

Meet Me

Open your lashes, it has been long I saw myself

Say sweet phrases, has been years heard myself

 

Come nearer to me, has been ages I met myself

Touch me tender and easy, its yearses felt myself

 

Unknot my tousled strands, its long decked myself

In my ear sing songs, has been days sang to myself

 

Make my self meet me, its lives I talked to myself

Converge with me, it has been long I knew myself.

I find this unnerving.. It seems to speak less by sense, than by resonance, and it speaks on different levels as a result. The development from the simple actions of opening, speaking and touching to 'unknot my tousled strands', and then again to 'make my self meet me', and 'converge with me', open up a great deal of space within the poem, and you develop it with such economy. It's hard to pick out anything that you could sharpen.. You do use 'long', twice, but that's probably intentional, and it doesn't get in the way.. 'Tender and easy' seems, to me, to come from a different place as´the rest of the poem, but that's not necessarily a criticism either.

It's been a long time since I've read anybody's work on here, and you encourage me to go browsing further. Thank you.

Meeting the wonderful poem after two years of its publication seems unusual for me.
I don't know how it happened.
It's really a great tribute to 'Myself'.
Thanks for sharing the lovely work.

Nice couplets, Prritiy. I like the theme about having someone who could help you identify more yourself...
Well-penned.

Oh! How romantic!
Its seldom we find someone who knows us as we know ourselves. When we do, they are called soul mates. We must hold on to such love. Amazing, beautiful emotion exprssed with much flair Prritiy. Applause!
