when we first spoke deeply, beyond the surface, no admiring of content or form letting subject or object or precept or concept fade from view and all that was left was the breath and the question, "What do you long for?" We never lived that one. It's a regret I still hold... I thought I was writing this poem for someone else until just then ~ When I discovered it was

Sometimes we don't know what we think or feel until we start to write about it in a poem. This is quite wonderful.
Hope you are enjoying Rally with visits and visitors.
Nice to "meet" you. Warmest regards for 2011.

its so beautiful! a sudden realisation that "YOU" is the one you love. "you" might not be the first person you thought of, but "you" is the one. lovely poem, and thanx for commenting on my poem!

that elusive 'you' we always hope and long for.
i'm not very good with words when i say them and i don't know why i'm saying this actually. it just reminded me of the many times i tried to say something and ended up with nothing but some mockery.
anyway, nicely done ending here.
