You are the... Senhora da Poesia
She captures the rainbows
the sunlight, the moonlight
the stardust of wintery skies
The ripples in water,
and teardrops in silence,
the reflections in old lovers eyes.
She frames as remembrance
heartache and sorrow
as portraits of whispers and sighs
She catches the moment
as spotches and swatches
and knows just when they apply.
She paints in real faces
though romance replaces
the arms, the hips, and the thighs.
With light and long brushes
she grants those she touches
with the colors they see through her eyes.
They Do Not Know You
They do not know you
in their expedience;
they have not discovered
....you.
They have never felt your pain,
or your deepest sighs,
or the fear that tomorrow
....brings.
They have not seen your smile
which my simple words,
in all their honesty
....create.
They cannot hear your heart
from an ocean away,
and how it beats
....like mine.
They do not know you
...like I do.
They have not read your words,
and understood your depths
that will take me a lifetime
....to uncover.
They do not know your strength,
or your wisdom
that you keep hidden
....behind modesty.
They do not feel your tears;
the pain that you bear,
or the dilemma we share
....together.
They did not see your eyes,
and how they searched,
and how they longed
....to find love.
They do not know you
...like I do.

A Comment from Pixiestix (on "They Do Not Know You") which was a mistaken double post:
"They" are always getting in the way or causing some sort of problem and "they" honestly don't know much of anything in my opinion.
How beautiful when we know someone so deeply and share what essentially lies behind the mask.
I'm picking up a mixed bag of emotions through your words. A sense of rationalization maybe peppered with happy memories and sadness.
I will stop rooting through your poetry now...at least for today I think I still have 567 past pieces to read. -
Excellent
AAwwww.
Yem, this is soooooo sweet.
I truly enjoyed reading this.
Thank you my friend.
Well done.
Keep up with the great work.
Keep on penning.
Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful talents with us.

Nice job. I like your approach and your rhyming scheme.

another one of your absolute masterpieces that touch souls and pull heartstrings ... your words truly paint mari's beauty, and reveal her innermost essence ...
it is deeply moving to see you peeking through the holes of your yemmie-mask to show us the real guy ...
thanks so much, I wasn't wrong with my intuition that you're a real gem ...

Lady of the Poetry ...
How sweet is this dedicatory poem? I didn't realize you had these kind of poems snuggled away! I loved it and it ran smoothly like a brand new Mercedes ... Congrats of the trophy as well. Now, ... I figured out the title but what's this? "hcc crhcr 5 5 65g 6g vtvjvg" supposed to mean??? joy

is a cryptic, secret language once used by the Phoenicians. Roughly translated it means, "Yem is full of crap!"

Can she paint my picture?
-
This is stunning!!! You've crafted this so beautifully and it's breathtaking! Well done on your silver shine there
-
That's beautiful!!
I imagined a painter sitting their, capturing the inner soul of each person on the canvas!
lovely!

as Marigoes! Lovely
"she grants those she touches
with the colors they see through her eyes."
And you painted those colors to with
"The ripples in water,
and teardrops in silence,
the reflections in old lovers eyes."
I don't see one cheat in this poem at all, Yem. It's a beauty of a write for another beauty of the write! Thank you for entering. This touches tender. ~ Karen

Yem is very happy with the silver. He is taking some time out (however, being him, he might come back sooner that he planned). He did ask me to thank you for honouring him with the silver trophy

LOL I just posted my entry too, but yours are so much better than mine!
You see me in a way better than I really am. And yes I know, I can't convince you not to, and I don't want to anyway
Thanks for seeing the best in all I do, and for all the encouragement I get from you, even when I am a big pain in the butt.
It's your ability to see good things in everyone, that makes you so special.
Thank you

no, no, not BETTER - just the way you ARE ...

You are too kind beautiful Marion

I want better! There are times when she is mean to me for no reason. Like the other day, she had her photo on her page, I said her hair looked like a bird's nest...now was that any reason to call me a "jerk?" She's just plain mean.
No, no, make her better!
Just 5:15 in the morning and I'm already performing my comedy routine.
BTW, Thanks for the kind comment,
