now i hope you know . . .
i had some people in my life
but i never showed how much i loved them
some kinda fear of intimacy
standing naked
feelings
raw
&
revealed
cellulite and all no Botox could hide
the real deal
flaws and all
deep mirrors of my soul
yes
you meant alot to me
more than i could show & tell
so now i hope you know . . .
those of you, all of you, on the other side
you bring me smiles . . .
memories
crying out loud laughter . . .
wishes i could do over
wisdom
i’m still learning how to use

So raw in emotion. The switch from ‘them’ to ‘you’ halfway through pulls the reader deeper into the reflection very nicely.
Lovely. Intimacy is one of the things I love about poetry, the way it allows one person’s inner life to speak to another’s. We haven’t met, but your poem spoke to me.
I felt the rawness of this poem. Loved how the first stanza was a slow break down.
Raw authenticity voiced here. Rings true. Reminds me to open heart to all dear ones, no matter what form they currently inhabit. Grateful for your participation in Lexpomo
