You

Sometimes, the best kind of comfort isn't from a person...

It is you,

Giving me the time of day,

Noticing me always,

Washing all my thoughts away,

And letting me reflect,

 

It was you,

Who I ran to when I cried,

Who reminded me of beauty,

When all inside me died,

You were there for me,

 

It's been you,

That loves to catch my tears,

And kisses me in storms,

You disregard my fears,

While bathing me in peace,

 

It is you,

Showing off your beauty,

Yet still pronouncing mine,

As if it were you duty,

To show me and blur my flaws,

 

It is you,

To whom I owe my life,

Because you showed me love,

And took the time to sink my knife,

Through your rippled sheets,

 

It is you,

Who reflects the sun to me,

To prove it's not all gray,

You make clear of all I can not see,

Besides why you're always there,

Right in my backyard,

Whispering in song,

Dancing in the wind,

My sweet, deep, blue lake.

Author's Note

I've noticed by the reviews that there may be some need for clarification of this poem. The girl in the poem is referring to a lake. It isn't the love of a human that the poem is about. There are many references to it being a lake. Take a look for them if you didn't catch it the first time. The whole poem consists of clues, really. Every stanza contains a few hints.

Any reviews are greatly appriciated! Thank you all!

This is a superb amazing piece. There is much love shown within the reflection
of the heart of this lake.

It has embraced the heart of your soul and the reflections of love
captured in your voice written with the poetess pen
you have etched emotion of feelings to all of us.

Very well written. With your permission I would like to come back and leave a comment of a poem to your wonderful words.

Wonderful and charming ode to the power of nature to give us what we need when those closest to us are caught in the center of their own universes, spinning away on the radio of their self interest, oblivious to all around them, tone death to the cries of need at their doorstep. I'm at the ocean this week, and the power of your lake is the power of the ocean to me, the waves, their sound, day by day, scrubbing the worry and concern from my tired soul, embracing me with smiles consistent, morning, noon and night. You've penned a gorgeous poem Caitlin, and to have written of such metaphoric excellent at 15 is amazing. Wow!

This is beautiful in every essence of the word. It's a real insight into the emotions and into the relationship of two people. I love the line "Who reflects the sun to me, To prove it's not all grey." That's what love is. And you captured it :)

There were some really good lines that stuck out to me in this poem.

"That loves to catch my tears,

And kisses me in storms,"


"Who reflects the sun to me,

To prove it's not all gray,"

"Right in my backyard,

Whispering in song,

Dancing in the wind,

My sweet, deep, blue lake."

I think it's beautifully written and has some great imagery in it.
