FOR YOU, MY HAVING KNOWN (M.A.K.)
Folder:
JOURNAL #13 here I sit
so uncharacteristically pensive
with this pen in hand
corresponding my mellowed thoughts
indirectly to you once again
you seem to be my favorite
journey to
when my mind acquires one of its
strange tendencies to battle me on
yet another unchartered front
I consider this true ponder
a most worthwhile challenge
and the price I must admit is indeed
rather smart
the prize of a poem in exchange for
my devotion and diligent effort
regardless of any intent
though it be
duly unmatched
I welcome the presence of your
good heart
with arms clearly open
as to only you
do I feel so amazingly attached
you quite unknowingly inspire me
so, so much
I've heard its been said
you sense in a rare unguarded few
what it is that you are able to feel
deepest within your own skin
there are individuals I believe
who solely exist as a means to lift
us up
far that above our metaphysical selves
as you too often capture me
so sweetly in the gentle web of your
writings and in the unwavering affection
in your tone
must be one of those same very choice
individuals I just mentioned
and I must have been so dearly blessed
indeed
