To love me . ..
Really love me
You would have to
Step out of your shoes
Taking a moment to feel what it is like to

Walk

Run

Jump

Dance

Kick

Stomp

and

STAND

In mine

Only in holding my heart
In the palm of your hand
Could you experience the delicacy of
Every emotion spent

Living

Loving

Laughing

Crying

Trying

To understand the expression you project
The thing you call love
It leaves me quite puzzled
For as it appears on the big screen
The image is quite distorted
Inflicting painful memories
Displaying intricate secretes of my heart
Omitting mine and showing only your truth
In fact your understanding of me seems quite aloof
This thought of love between you and me
While quite dashing
Only ends up clashing
With any form of reality
Yes the idea of you and me
Is all a fantasy
Because you fail to look beyond
Your desire to

Touch me

Taste me

Kiss me

Seduce me with poetry

And choose instead to open your soul
Taking in the true essence of me
You’re caught up in your dream of poetry
While I struggle each day with my reality
Not desiring to be

You

Me

She

Another mistress of poetry

But needing to be

One heart

One soul

Once love

For eternity!

You offer a round trip ticket to poetic fantasy
I desire a one-way pass to truth and reality
Different desires
Different destinations
One conclusion
You
Me
Existing seperately!
