You wait alone in silence
I can feel you there
Standing in the shadows
My soul you want laid bare
My eyes are blinded
By your light
They look but they don't see
This heart it feels you
And it knows
That what you stand for
I don't need
Continue waiting in your silence
My joy you cannot take
These eyes, they may not see you
For what you really are
But my heart's eyes
Can feel you
And they, are wide awake

So very poignant my friend, beautiful. Watching in the silence.
Your Poems are very deep in their meanings..These expressions are v familiar to me ..I have been there..Ty Neva U are very expressive..
Expressive ?yes ; Personal ? Yes ;
Sensitive ? Yes ; But more than, and deeper than, these terms-- your poetry speaks to a universal experience , and strikes deep into the readers heart--
Beautiful Neva. I think we all feel that way sometimes.
Your poems are so expressive. I am glad I am getting to know you and your writings. Merry Christmas,
Chris
