Blinders

Do you see me as I pass you by?
A momentary shadow out of the corner of your eye
Do you hear me as I draw near?
The softest sound of sighs as a wind whispering in your ear
Do you smell me as I enter the room?
Enveloping you in scents mistaken for the gardens perfume
Do you feel me as I touch your warm skin?
Caress resembling a cool breeze bringing shivers now and again

I am the past you do not know
A present you are unable to share
The future you will never realize

For, you don't really see me at all..

Very nicely done. A fairy tail a dream. The thought of having something but can't touch it not now not ever but the thoughts remain. I think we all go through this in life.....wanting something you simply can't have:)
Nice piece
Regards

[Rogue]

Thank you very much for your thoughts and kind words here. :)

[Renny]

Heartwarming, its so great being someone's everything from the past to the present and even further into the future. Great piece!

[Rogue]

Thank you. :)

[Ken Simm.]

Now you will know that I will like this. And I do very much. The choice of words is as gossamer as the subject matter. It all fits but gently and evocatively.

[Rogue]

Thank you, Ken. This was a lovely review and I appreciate it. :)

[SteveB]

The invisible ghosts of time, occassionaly hinting of their presence. Very nicely done. All of the senses involved and being unsure if they observe or not.

[Rogue]

Thank you, Steve. A bit if a romanticism twist on "what if"?

[Cool Handless Luke]

I think we can and have all felt like this at one point or another so this is very relevant and poignant. A very well crafted piece of work Rogue.

[Rogue]

Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts and the kind review here. :)

Kept an ocean of thought in a little vial.
I could not fathom the value of such a small piece.
It embodies the infinite energy of an atom bomb that may explode at any moment and form a wonderful mushroom that may kill!
Congratulations!!!

[Rogue]

What wonderfully written poetic thoughts you have written here.
Thank you for gracing me with them. :)

[Rogue]

-reads this again-

Wait a minute.. -grin- Even though my mind took a different track this time, I don't think I am reading that right. :)

[zainul]

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I went away for a while to read the newspapers.
It was my instant comment to share my pleasure.
Thanks for your appreciation.
The 'kill' here is meant for 'impressing'
Thanks for stopping by twice. :)

[Rogue]

-grin- Stopping by thrice even now. But surely it is acceptable to all in my own home (so to speak). :D
And I always appreciate your visits and your thoughts, kind soul. :)

[zainul]

-grin- It means that we have similar mindset.
I feel like the same like yours.
Keep on writing the good thing.:D

I love this, Rogue. People are sometimes unaware of the real beauty around them- the important things which seems to be unknown or unappreciated. People are sometimes blind. That's it.
Nice one. :)

[Rogue]

-grin-
That's the shorter, less wordy version. Shhh..
Thank you, Dhaye. :)

[Dhaye]

Sshhh. I love to summarize. Haha. :)

[Ency Bearis]

A thought provoking poem. A shadow in a corner of an eye - an illusion of only the brain can interpret. A hallucination that can be perceived by a person with such imagination.
Brilliant poem with logic analogy to go with.

[Rogue]

Thank you, Ency for both reading and the poetic thoughts you left on this. :)

[Ency Bearis]

My pleasure

[MOON]
