all to me

i wanted to share with you my words;

place them in your palm, kiss them on to

your skin,

and leave them there, in your hands, blending into the swirls

of your fingertips.

 

and now -

they are yours, to do with what you will.

i will never take them from you

(no one ever can)

 

i wanted to share with you my secrets, remind you

of your goodness;

i wanted to hold you tight, then set

you free.

 

i wanted you… (for a moment),

all to me.

Yes, when we are writing somethig for our near ones, it is like ode to that person with whatever form our work is holding. We never shy of keeping it in any good pacakage. Just the honest giving will serve our purpose.

Here you with your majestic touch of simple words make that happen. I owe to all to you for writing such a nice philosophy.

"they are yours, to do with what you will.

i will never take them from you

(no one ever can)"

Really no one ever can...

Thank You.

Raja.

So vivid and moving, tenderly speaking of love and those moments we long for when only two people exist in the world... Profound and beautiful!

[Adela Muresan]

Your feelings of adoration are very well expressed here.

The words dedicated to him and your tenderness, makes it a very good love poem.

This is one of those kind of poems that fascinates me, a simple complexity if you will. It takes the wonderful talent, which you have, to write a poem so small. Yet as you have, fill it with so much. Bravo!

sharing your words...

...its touchy...and ive been warned not to do so...

but sometimes you cant help it.

showing someone the words youve put together for them. as a friend once said

"some fancy, all fact, thrown at your feet."

its difficult to bring yourself to actually show someone who inspired something, just what they inspired.
(this is what i took from it all anyway.)

as always, i very much enjoyed your work. its soft, its welcoming, and it feels like you can trust it.

this is touching...but why would you want to become so close to a person, with the intention to set them free? absolutely gorgeous!

I think the idea of being wanted for a moment stress the importance of that moment.. This is one that makes me think and yes I like to be made to think.

"and now -


they are yours, to do with what you will.

i will never take them from you

(no one ever can)"

This is my favorite part, for it shows the power of words to me.. Nicely written!

This is truly profound, dear. The powers that secrets hold is really incredible. The fact that the author wants to share a part of her INTIMACY through sharing a part of her, in this case a secret (metaphorically speaking of course). I can also feel the author's want, or need, of someone. The sense I get from not only the title, but the tone, is one of selfishness...she knows what she wants..however, the ends justify the means because, I think it is true love that's spawns...
Intimate indeed speaks loudly

I love this idea being owned, for want of a better word, briefly by words. Immersed and enveloped in someone else's writing, I mean I see this as the beautiful love poem it is but I also see it as the wish of every writer, that someone will be captivated by their writing, if just for a minute, taken on a trip of sorts or maybe that's what I want from reading. Yep that's what I want and that's what I got right here. Very nicely expressed.

I love this Kara. A nice picture of our words being gifts to those we write them for, and also for the purpose of having a "Captive audience!" Very nicely done. :-)
