SMITTEN

Folder: 
JOURNAL#17

you touch me with your words

the mind stutters

as the heart flutters

and I am utterly besotted with

your spirit's loving reflection

of self

come

you must realize such is truth

there is a place in my mind

where I allow you to secretly visit

me

though I would confess to no such crime

at least not willingly

yet

the emotions I feel are none too specific

still...

quite touched am I

by their wanting tentative gesture

in the company of your letters

I feel more real

as the me I should be

well........... perhaps

and not just the facade

of myself that I wear so well

you have suspected glimpses of this

along with small snip its of insight

I sense in you

a reaching out from the page

coming from a hand that is not as

confidant as you would like it to be

but

from a heart that is much more sincere

than any man who has ever written to me

this is a gift

you have my undivided attention

so now in my own due recourse

I must somehow confess

that I am somewhat 'Smitten'

with ye

laugh if you will

but for now

Goodnight and God Bless

I hand the sweaty reigns over to thee

thee who thinks of me

I hope

no less............................
