A picture needs help depict…
By grace or disgrace.
That day when you came walking down
Those stairs
Among many others
I know you only could see me.
I was not looking but saw you too.
That was our first time,
But there was a third and a hundredth.
I committed the usual mistake,
Because it was then
That I began
To feed my illusion:
How nice, how handsome
Well… at long last!
Someone has shown up
To fulfil my dream
Fate was on my side
How clearly I could see
Us together.
Lucky me!
But nope!
I took advantage once more-
Once more I rushed into saying
What a woman can never say,
What a woman is not expected to
Declare openly
How much I love you.
Now I stand looking
At this once more
Empty staircase.

simply wonderful. how we sometimes make a fool of ourselves. been there, done that..dont know about you.
You write beautiful poetry!
A real problem caught well in a poem.
Thanks for your last comment on my blog. Awards are at best weird on the internet and an award actually tied to a real skill almost unheard of.
Glad your back. Look forward to reading your writing.
Wow! Now I see why Shadow (a friend) reads your stuff. You and she do have some common denominator.
Maybe it's the fact we are both snakes?
I've crawled and grovelles a great deal for love> no good...
I may admit that your poems are amazing. You have got real talent and your style in writing is very simple and clear. This style makes your poems attractive to the reader. I salute your talent and keep up the great work! I am following your blog for sure...
Dulce, I think we frighten them a little, when we simply say, this is me, this is how I feel.

I am burying this here so that I am not giving my email to the whole western world! I hope that you get notifications for comments. :-)
