I Waited for You to Discern Me

I waited for you to discern me.

 

I may not know love by name,

But I know her secrets and her pain.

You may not be from life's forever,

But won't you be from future's better?

I may not know your grain entirely,

But I feel your branches deep inside of me.

 

I waited for you to discern me.

 

She may steal with envisions of lust,

But I deceived rapture's inception was us.

You may have triturated a dove riven,

But hope cleaves to wings ungiven.

 

I wait for you to discern me.

You mentioned in your profile

You mentioned in your profile page that this had been published---I take it you meant in a magazine or book?  Could you tell us where, and if it is still available for purchase?  And congratulations on your publication, that is a huge accomplishement, and you should be very pleased with yourself.

Thank you ^_^ I wish it was more impressive than it actually is haha. It was published in a high school book of anthology with a bunch of other students. The company is Creative Communications. I appreciate your interest! :)

On the contrary, any

On the contrary, any publication is impressive, especially for a young poet.  You can put it on a college resume, and, if you have some dark nights where you doubt your ability (and we all have them), it will give you an anchor to cling to until the brighter morning.

I agree with that comment

I have only read two poems of yours, and already I am convinced that you have an old, and very wise, soul.  Again I have to admit, I would I could have accomplished what you have when I was your age.
