Who Am I?
How I dare...
Of course there’s no answer to that
But sometimes
I can get to have
A good day
Any day
And talk to myself
As in a delirium
And so write and say…
…………………
The delight of letting myself go
Into the abyss
The pleasure of running into myself
By chance
And on purpose
The relief of shedding my tears
In my own hands
Looking at the one I am
In the mirror
The satisfaction of being
Overjoyed
Cause I am here by my side
Ever since my life began
To be, somehow
Like this I try to depict
I looked for this encounter
And here it is
Love
Love
Love
Ashamed I am, though
For not finding
A better way
To call this—let’s try again
………………..
Who am I?
I am exactly the same
But completely different
It’s when the sea meets the sky in the horizon
It’s the peace I’ve only got to feel
Two, maybe, three times
For a second
In this lifetime
It’s much more than simple matters of the heart
Or…
Mind the mind
Or the understanding
The sympathy
I am
That piece of land and sea
Which is but
The whole globe
And this tiny look
Driven away with the breezes
From those unidentified galaxies
It’s fire
And fireworks
It’s the whole ocean
My ocean
What remains unknown
Because the depth is down- so down
Too far away
It’s nothing
Compared to everything
And
It’s everything
Compared to the whole.

wonderful post dear Dulce.....
impossible to do not indentify with your words .
Wow!
this is so amazing, i just found you this morning.
And this poem expresses perfectly, where/who i am, or at least striving to be, but haven't figured it out yet.
Thanks for being, who you are!
Interesting coincidence... your post and mine today.
And this is the question to which we're all dying for the proper answer... Who am I? And you've made it seem like it's so easy to answer that question, Dulce. But you see... it isn't. Not for me, at least. But you are a woman who knows yourself. And I love that about you. Beautiful... beyond mere words, Sweetest!

One of your best, Dulce.

I love this Dulce..lovely!!

That is about all one can say with certaintly.
Take care--and why stress over who he is, and who you are? Would it not be simpler to just enjoy life as it unfolds?
Take care...and PEACE!
I am

Powerful lines. A kind of communion with the unseen and seen.
Words are powerful and yours is a thunderbolt for the senses.
Joy always,

Very timely post today Dulce. I have been riding a razor's edge lately and don't know which way to turn. I have had a calling from one side begging me to come on board but If I commit then this is all gone. What to do, what to do???
Takin a bow :)
WOW!!! "this" was fabulous!!!
please take a bow...
throwing roses on your stage with warm smiles,
I am getting happy toknow who you are.
It's amazing.
You write so often of love, it was no suprise to find it in who you are. x
simply lovely.
oh yeah! Bring it on, whatcha got! :) great reflection today
wow, what a beautiful poem
Dulce somehow you never lose that ability to make this crowd stand on the edge of their seat when reading your poems.
your poem is wonderful and reads for me like a birthday exploration. The first comment says Happy Birthday to you. Was your birthday yesterday? Mine was the day before. If your birthday was or is to come, I wish you a year that feels wonderful to you! May many dreams come true.
Ohhh
I love that BOW thing
Blushing!
You are all SO lovely---Cannot find the way to thank you as you deserve... but I'll try!!
I promise! :)
;)
Dulce, this is so good, it deserves to be hanging in an art gallery, your Gallery of Sweeter Poetry!
Very thoughtful posting!
