written from the soul

Poetry

I want someone to see me as poetry
Both the dark and the light
To take in my complex ways and turn them into something right
To talk about me in metaphors
That only they would understand
To hide something fascinating in the hidden scriptures of the words they write
As they write alone in the dead of night
I would like to be someone's poetry
The one they read when happy
Or at times they feel alone
To be their comfort in the darkness
Their home away from home
Their water to their wilting plants
The stitches holding together their pants
I want My name hidden amongst the words on the sheet
The words to create an image of me
I would read that poetry
And hold it dear
Because someone who truly understands me
Knows that my heart is filled with stanzas
Of a poem of mine own
I would like to be someone's poetry
Because poetry is all I have ever known
