From the other side

From the other side

A Poem by Daniel Fourie
"

Today you said 'no'.

"
Today you said no.

I thought my body would not be able to
withstand those two single letters
placed together like sword and sheath

Is my love that I have to offer
not good enough?
Then again, nothing can match up to your beauty

Some people want money. Others want fame.
But all I ever wanted was for you to see
And now I hope that one day you will
meet that person that lights up your heart

So I will take that no and look at it from the other side
Look at it, as the first time, you truly,
spoke to me.

It has the feel of a Journal entry - and that is good. Try to be wary of using Author's shorthand (as I call it) - that is when since YOU are fully knowledgeable of your intent you leave out bits and words that others may need to understand and perhaps better FEEL what you are trying to express.

Not all readers are the same - as regards a general awareness and understanding.
