The Thought of You

even after all these years

the very thought of you

is all I need

you still move me

beyond words,

I know that you know

how could you not?

and yet, we don't speak of this

dancing around the obvious,

chatting about anything other than

this.

I have felt this with several people in my life. Often it is challenging to determine when one should keep quiet or just be open and accept what is.
I think two mature, healthy people should be able to speak openly and plainly without attaching expectations.
I like the poetry because it is openly simple and in contrived. The reader can see intention and understand the situation with a few concise words. Naturally, you left a few things "unsaid".
After all, just exactly what "this" is will be unique to each reader.
Well done.

A rather silly thing to say to a writer, but who needs words when the actions scream out loud. Sometimes all we need is a look, a smile and knowing they know we know.
Beautifully penned.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. I will be by soon.

Hi Alisa, this recalled to me one of my favourite song lyrics by the inimitable Suzanne Vega - "we skirt around the danger zone and don't talk about it later' - Marlene on The Wall.

Yes I like it, is about the ideal other person that lives in the imagination and if mentioned then the magic might diminished.

some things are better left unsaid....and often don't need to be said....

this poem dances with love and commitment.
