Perceptions (Photo credit: Ezu)
What I see
Is not what you mean me to see
What I hear
Is not what you say
What I feel
Is a better barometer
For the things
You would desire, prefer
You’re a ghost
Living in human bones
You love most
What you can’t hold
Artist paints
A world that they alone see
And the person
They most desire to be
Are those flames
Flickering round your head
And what names
Do your angels own?
I perceive
The flaw beneath the weave
May you grieve
That I’ll never believe

I wonder what it would be like if you released a book of nothing but poems….oh wait—I know what it would be like…heaven.
Wow, thanks Ionia!! One day I might but I’ve just had my third novel professionally edited so I’m thinking of publishing that in the New year…after that.. who knows? 🙂 🙂
The ‘ghost living in human bones’ is a chilling and powerful line. Kept going back to it.
Thanks Charles!! 🙂 🙂
I agree with Charles…. just imagine a whole story built around that… wow!
Thanks Roxi!! 🙂 🙂
The matter of perception is one where so often in relationships it becomes a bone of contention. You have expressed this very well Helen, well done.
Thanks Michael!! 🙂 🙂
Everything about this is wonderfully appealing! 🙂
Thank you so much, that is so kind!! 🙂 🙂
I agree with Roxi. And, a book of all poems would be incredible. 🙂
Thank so much dear sis!! 🙂 🙂
