A Poet's Perceptions

A Poet's Perceptions

A Poem by Frieda P

How do you perceive me?
           Do you see heart and soul
or merely
 a persona presented
     I bleed, I breathe, I love, I've lost
 What do you read,
 when you read me?
A little girl lost,
 a mother of three sons
a woman with desires
 and ambitions

Do you see the mad poet,
 perhaps only the smiles 
or can you dig deep
 down and sense
there's that person within us all

Do you see me in yourself, 

as I see YOU?

We all have pain,
 we have secrets, we have views
we escape our reality
 for a short while
and share our destiny,
 hopes and dreams...
read between the lines
let us overflow

 There's hope for us all
for a poet's heart never wanes 
even in the quietest times of all
ready to leap without caution
dive off a cliff, 
soar with pen in hand
 to trace
all the colors of a poet
...the shades of life

you have expressed the poet heart beautifully here, frieda. and you have shown the reader a part of your inner being and challenged them to find you within themselves, clever moves which demonstrate a sharp mind and at the same time a deep and loving soul. i feel there is a little of each of us within each other if we only learn how to reach it. this is a glorious piece of personality, painted into a loving and soulful poem. very nice!
