I Am......

I'm the spark
  That creates the flame.
I'm the reason
  You'll never be the same.

I'm the catch
  You want to keep.
I'm the depths
  Of the ocean deep.

I'm the light
  Shining on your face.
I'm your home
  When you're out of place.

I'm the friend
  To see you through.
I'm the love you seek
  That you know is true.

I'm life's blood;
  The color purple.
I'm the life
  That completes the circle.

I'm the passion
  That makes you thrive.
I'm the awakening
  Making you feel alive.

I'm the desert,
  In need of the rain.
I'm all of life's joy;
  The root of the pain.

I'm the secret
  You can't keep.
I'm the tears
  Rolling down your cheek.

I'm the benefit
  Of all your doubt.
I'm the trap
  To let you out.

I'm the cause
  To the ultimate effect.
I'm the heart
  Your eyes reject.

I'm the blind
  Looking through reflection.
I'm the object of all,
  Except your affection.

I'm what's concealed;
  Right under your nose.
I'm the field
  Where your flower grows.

I'm the triumph
  In all that fails.
I'm the dirt
  Underneath your nails.

I'm love's defeat,
  But I refuse to lose.
I'm the smiles
  Amongst the abuse.

I'm the calm
  Before the storm.
I'm extraordinary,
  Far from the norm.

I'm memorable;
  The good and the bad.
I'm the prolific future
  In the times I've had.

I'm grounded yet fly free;
  The cage in the beast.
I'm contradicting;
  The rage in the peace.

I'm at times chaotic;
  Like most compounded things.
I'm the ruffled feathers
  Within your wings.

I'm the taste
  Upon your lips.
I'm a world tour;
  Worth making the trips.

I'm what's left
  After being devoured.
I'm reincarnation;
  Even more empowered.

I'm the reality,
  Trying to overcome what's fake.
I'm the choice
  You refuse to make.

I'm the lump in your throat;
  At times hard to swallow.
I'm right behind you,
  So I'm hard to follow.

I'm the moon
  Surrounded by night.
I'm a shooting star;
  Falling is my flight.

I'm the rising sun
  Shining in the morning.
I'm the tidal wave
  That hits without warning.

I'm at my best
  When we are together.
I'm everlasting;
  My love is forever.

I'm an opportunist;
  Somewhat spontaneous.
I'm a little out there;
  I like the craziness.

I'm the echoes of laughter;
  Ringing in your ears.
I'm the vision you see
  When the smoke clears.

I'm the stereotype
  You perceive me to be.
I'm so much more
  Than what you see.

I'm the hope
  Within desperation.
I'm the closeness
  With seperation.

I'm the faith
  You try to keep.
I'm the mountain you climb;
  Vast and steep.

I'm the thirst
  Caused by hunger.
I'm the lightening
  That spawns the thunder.

I'm the smile
  Surrendering to laughter.
I'm the end of time
  And therefor after.

I'm the sorrow
  Of letting go.
I'm the heartache
  I hope you never know.

I'm the forgiveness
  That releases all guilt.
I'm the foundation
  That has been rebuilt.

I'm the fuse;
  Burning so slowly.
I'm your heart's explosion
  If you'd get to know me.

I'm the sedative
  To put you at ease.
I'm only the treatment
  For your disease.

I'm strong enough to be the cure;
  Your dose of medicine.
I'm the good in every man,
  But you won't let us in.

I'm the undying attempt,
  To provide you peace.
I'm your landlord,
  Because all you do is lease.

I'm the darkness
  When you close your eyes.
I'm the truth you see
  To overshadow the lies.

I'm suicidal;
  In light that I die for you.
I'm depressed;
  In light that I cry over you.

I'm uncomfortably numb,
  Because you don't feel me.
I'm hidden from you;
  You don't see the real me.

I'm forever giving;
  Sometimes I forget to take.
I'm without you even making it;
  Your biggest mistake.

I'm the static
  Upon your neck.
I'm the type of man
  That commands respect.

I'm missed opportunity;
  At times left alone.
I'm what you look for in them,
  Except in me it's shown.

I'm what makes your heart beat;
  The circulation of blood.
I'm the oxygen carried,
  That initiates the flood.







 

Author notes

I know this is long, a little repetitive, and jumps around quite a bit with an uneven flow. Some of this is really old and some is recent so it clashes a lot and is pretty much a mixed bag. I'm just looking for any thoughts, perceptions, maybe ideas that may help me bring this altogether. All suggestions and comments are welcomed and appreciated.

    I can say one thing to sum this up brilliant writing. Message me if you want your score. ( It's good.) Include the name of your poem. Thanks, bye.

    ..oh my god..

    You've really spooked me with this write.

    I come home to see all your comments, and then I come to return the favor..and I'm awe struck.

    This is one of the most..powerful poems I've ever read.
    So much so, that you remind me of someone I knew..he was eerily eloquent, had an unnerving way with words. This poem..feels like what he might say to me.

    ..this part jerked back some memories of him.

    I'm the desert,
    In need of the rain.

    This is something he used to say to me, because I'm a pisces moon.

    Thank you for commenting on my writes, I really appreciate it.

      You're welcome.

      You are extremely talented. There was no way I could not say something to the poems of yours I've read. I like the depth and the emotion behind your words (Very Powerful). As you probably put together with the picture of the lion; I'm a Leo. Hope any memories sparked are all good ones. Thanks for all of your responses. I look forward to reading, commenting, and even hearing more from you.

      Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you liked it. It turned out nothing like I thought it would when I first started to write it, or when I picked it back up again so I was a little concerned about this one. I was thinking about adding a few more verses just to give it a stronger close. We'll see though. Thanks again for the comments.
