Are You Real?
by GoddessErika

Your eyes whisper
Words unspoken
Thoughts unseen
Dreams yet to be delivered
From reality.

Your heartbeat surreal
So untimely
Yet in sync
With my world.

Your touch
So lucid
So gentle
It’s unreal-

Yet I feel you
As if you were…

Real that is-

Now all I can do
Is wonder…

Are you?

Great images there Erika...

Loved the read...
Your eyes whisper
Words unspoken
Thoughts unseen
Dreams yet to be delivered
From reality.
This stanza so rocks...
And as I watch you in this light
I never realized your eyes were full of
So many colors.

Great writing... Words chosen so carefully can be powerful... :thumbsup:
These are my thoughts written down on paper, it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say. These are the thoughts that are on my mind, moments that haven't yet been defined, and I don't know if you could ever understand ~New Found Glory

what is real? touch? sight? tangible objects can be moved, torn apart and broken into something completely different than what it was... or added onto to create something new...
if real is the heart of a soul then once you hold someone in your arms and feel their heart race with yours. once you feel... not with touch but with soul, only then will both hearts slow together and find the understanding of what is real...
"Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler."

What a great writing, Goddess....reality is much more complex than a "yes" or "no"...reality is the shadow of dream behind typed words on a computer screen....reality demands tactile emotion, scented, touched, heard...confirmation...reality is three dimensional...and more..., demanding confirmation by the moon and the sun and the witnessing eye of two hearts...

I know the truth of half a reality...from this distant perch of mine, because I have seen the mind and heart of the one that holds it, sometimes too close...too desperately close.......

:roll: hmmm, wonder what brought this out....heheheh...anyway, beautiful poem, Goddess

Well Tom, I have seen the other half and right now, let me tell you, it is too far- way too far from the other. I shall keep you posted on the reality as the distance closes in. Deal? :cool:

:oops:
Thanks for the offer, heheh, but it really is not necessary.... :mrgreen:

Back to your poem, it is such a timely presentation, and an important read for all whose hearts are in need...
Oh, and I read your bio and in actuality, without the history, you are truly a Goddess of poetry on your own merits....

:bow:
