Answer to Why Me

An answer to why me asked ten years ago give or take a year relating to the poem I wrote Charming.

The question still lingers within
Undulating within my mind
Puzzled, you once asked “why me?”
I will now reply with an answer
Seriously, why not it be you?”
Charming the keeper of her soul

For years the tongue was frozen
The phrase hovering, within time
Circling in the brain, processing
A solid answer not quite forming
Surprised at the mere idea
That you didn’t already know

It has dwelled submerged inside
Surfacing to be given a voice
Unconditional Love just is
An electric spark upon meeting
A connection of the two souls
The tender moments in the quiet

It never changes its rhythm
Strumming a unique melody
Contoured to your inner being
Continually drifting towards you
Swirling with these exotic notes
Merging with your own vibration

Contentment found unexpectedly
Calming the anxious chaotic mind
Your presence an instant sense of peace
A feeling of being complete
Allowing a soft breath of silence
To fill the overly noisy space

It’s a mesmerizing true smile
Causing the heart to stammer with need
Igniting an undefinable want
The magnetic energy of you
That gravitates across the divide
Making the room temperature rise

It’s the solid understanding
Of how to handle the situation
Knowing when to remain stoically calm
And when to stubbornly stand your ground
When to have a gentle demeanor
Also when to demand my compliance

Your energy simply calls to me
Sparking a ferocious primal fire
Fueling a desire blazing with heat
A raw predatory sense flaring
Commanding my complete attention
A warmth that sizzles to the bone

There is many diverse factors
That create the answer you seek
Mostly it’s who you are as a whole
The way you respond to who I am
Accepting me without judgement
The soaring fire and the calm rain

I believe, we must be friends first before we can be lovers.

I liked the above lines and we must know someone before we commit to them. All of us have strength and weaknesses. We must like both to know love. Hello dear poet from Michigan and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you my friend for your wise words. Being friends before lovers goes a long way.

[Coyote Poetry]

It does my dear friend and you are welcome.

This one came into my life as a complete surprise and 14 years later even though we aren’t together, I love him as much as I did back then. Maybe more. Distance in miles isn’t fun but at least I have his friendship.

[Coyote Poetry]

I wish we had Facebook and the cell phones. Many lovers and good friends. I lost contact with. It is cool to be friends with a ex-lover. Like a secret they can share.

This one and I keep circling around. We stopped talking when I broke up with him for about a year had half then reconnected when he moved back home to Arizona. We stopped talking when he got married. Then out of the blue he reached out after almost 4 years. I was in a relationship when we started talking again. We keep it friend terms when we are in relationships. But we alway circle back around. It’s 14 years of this. I’m planning a trip to go visit as friends and just hang , make a few new memories

A perfect unconditional love is depicted in this piece and you are awesome in it! Yes, it soothes, it gives a sense of security among all kind of chaos, it is benevolent and above all it is that kind of love which is unuttered still there! It's a spark and a rhythm that coincides with own heart beat..... I love this write

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you so much for your kind word. It is anl Be that is eternal

I just say as a completely off set or neutral 3rd party to be cautious. I felt that way for a while for someone. I was totally in love with who i thought she was, or who I wanted her to be......not with who she really was. I was heartbroken for years. But I'm thrilled to say that I completely moved on and am happy I did. It was very hard though.

[Poetic Beauty]

I actually know this person and dated this person. He knew all my family and my son and him have a bond and still talk to each other. It’s a very long complicated story. We talk to each about almost everything.
He even tells me when he is in a relationship and we keep it friend terms when one of us is with someone. He always said he wouldn’t do a long distance relationship. If nothing else he is a little too honest and blunt sometimes

I feel the way I feel. I can’t change it. And Lord knows I asked not to for over three year’s everyday. This simply just is. I’ve accepted it.

[Franky]

I hope I haven't been insensitive. Sorry for being pushy with my own views. I have no idea of your situation.

[Poetic Beauty]

No it’s okay I get the warning. And many people do need this warning but in my case I have actually been with him in person and the only reason I left him was so he would go home to his family without having to worry about me. I loved him deeply unselfishly. He didn’t know until years later why I actually broke up with him. See complicated

[Franky]

I can't find it.

[Poetic Beauty]

Never mind this is the follow up poem the one that started the question is charming

[Perdition]

Ten. years later you formulate the perfect response. I wonder if and where ...then again perhaps in the next room. Some questions don't really have a true answer but they burrow, all the same, stabbing away with a strang reflection until a decade later viola...a poem lights the perfect ball and answer. Still, I wonder...next room or on that helicopter that just rose ten feet on the surface of Mars? Well, like the great and powerful Jewel once sang, " Sometimes it be that way".

"A connection of the two souls
The tender moments in the quiet"...be there nothing so well unrehearsed as such a connection I know not the animal. Liked it...thanks~

[Poetic Beauty]

We dated way back in 2007 flash forward we reconnected in 2009 we
Stayed connected for several years then he got married and disconnected for several years. Flash forward we reconnected again four years ago maybe five?

We keep circling back time and time again. We talk about anything and everything.

[NotUsinganymore]

I reallyl liked this poem about the pure love one has.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you liked this poem about unconditional love

[Betty Hermelee]

To me, there seems to be a struggle within your own mind about what a relationship should be and you show us that in the first couple of stanzas; for years you felt that his love was frozen, not warm and bonding; and you showed how you were able to give love all this time, without him receiving it; too much brain chaos; but now you show us what unconditional love is; which is understood to be "sparkling a ferocious primal fire,"fueling a desire blazing with heat".... excellent images and relevant words to show the reader what your thoughts are. Best, Betty

[Poetic Beauty]

There is no question about how I feel about him. He knows me inside and out and that is what this poem is about.

We keep circling back to each time and time again. We now live far apart and he always said he can’t and wouldn’t do a long distant relationship and I under his reasons why. Sometimes he asks questions wanting answers. He is trying to figure things out within his own mind.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and I think the best answer to the question in the title...is "just because"----

[jacob erin-cilberto]

a true bond exists when the feelings this speaker has for the other are mutual.
First line, last stanza...I read as "There are many...."
when there is the dichotomy of soaring fire and calm rain in a relationship....that is perfection.
love the imagery in this..."the predatory sense" is that the two belong together.

[Poetic Beauty]

I know he loves me as a person and loves me as a dear friend...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I think the poetry one writes says a lot about who she or he is...and reading you, I feel he is quite smart to love you as both.

[barleygirl]

This is my very favorite way to say why someone loves his/her beloved. I love that you start out with the plunge, explaining why this has not been expressed prior. I tend to NOT tell people how I feel, regarding fond feelings, becuz I also assume they must realize. But people do get hungry to hear it, & I love how you gather up some pluck, conversationally with your audience, before diving in. For me, many love sentiments carry too much of this or too much of that. It's all about how the other person makes me feel good. Or it's all about how the other person looks good. Not until I read this poem of yours did I realize I've been hungry to read about love that transcends how one person is, or the other person, in a physical or literal way. I've been wanting to see it painted in words how the two people spending significant time together become something entirely different than either one separately, which is often missing from the "you are blah-blah-blah" or "I am blah-blah-blah" poems. This poem is the best I've seen that idea expressed . . . showing instead of telling (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have had many years to contemplate my thoughts and years to digest the hard to describe connection.

Oddly enough I wasn’t sure how people would perceive this poem because it’s is done differently. And it is very personal in direction and feeling.

[lightsong]

Again I read here a new tune I didn't read before from You, the gentle giving loving and then the passionate woman giving and loving her man without asking for anything in return but to let her be whom she is and how she is, your emotions are pure here and felt deeply, the total poem is amazing but few verses stand for me,

"It has dwelled submerged inside
Surfacing to be given a voice
Unconditional Love just is
An electric spark upon meeting
A connection of the two souls
The tender moments in the quiet

It never changes its rhythm
Strumming a unique melody
Contoured to your inner being
Continually drifting towards you
Swirling with these exotic notes
Merging with your own vibration."

one of your bests without questioning. Well done my dear friend.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you so much. I don’t have the original poem on here Charming that prompted that question so long ago. Maybe I shall have to dig it out of the old journal and post it. Some loves are eternal. I have loved others but nothing like this connection.

[lightsong]

Yes, I think You should put your "Charming" poem along this one. I still pray for the best for You together 💞

[Poetic Beauty]

I did post it in all it’s old unedited form. He no longer ask the question why me. He lets me have my moments of telling him how much I care although I am careful not to cross boundaries cause he has a lady at the moment. Usually I send him the poetry. He hates to read and I once told him that when I’m gone I will have my son send him all the journals fill with his poetry. He laughed and said great I will have to read and I hate reading.

[lightsong]

Will check it soon my dear, just going outside for the moment~ do take care of your beautiful heart ❤️

[Poetic Beauty]

Enjoy your moment. No rush on reading. It will be here whenever you have a moment
