    Who Are You

    He didn’t claim to be the Messiah
    But had the patience of a saint.
    A fulfilling burst of happiness,
    A peace he gave me every day.
    And so it seemed as days went by,
    His world became my lullaby.
    Softly, slowly drawing me near,
    Comforting whispers in my ear.
    Hours seemed pointless in the warmth of embrace,
    Capturing moments unmistaken, now gone with no trace.
    Who are you to fill me up
    With the sound of heaven in your call.
    Who are you to watch me crash
    And not be there to break my fall.
    You let go like Buddha, in the moment, disappear.
    You understood, though not concerned of what I need to hear.
    Your silence is either your curse or your blessing,
    For me, an indefinable lesson.
    I raised you up as something you weren’t
    You know, you’re only human.
    Mistakes you made, I became afraid,
    Mistaking fear to be alluring.
    Quiet Messiah-like lover, I feel your pain.
    Until we heal from our troubled past, we cannot meet again.

    What wistful wonder so full of irony, "Who are you to fill me up with the sound of heaven in your call." This magic line sets up the consequence. I crashed with you, expectations broken, unsolaced. May you hear again the sound of heaven.

    sorry for the pain. it wasn't meant. like the air, like the wind, like the water, in which we swim, like the sand, we walk on, life is flowing, in the divine mold. love is for sharing, and cannot be possessed :) remember the beauty, and be not sad :) z :)

    I like the way the rhyme is almost unintentional, like a light seasoning that flavors the piece without overwhelming it.

    Very spiritual and eloquent ....

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
