Being Touched by Ones Words

Yet again I am alone.
The thought of you crossing my mind slowly.
Are you thinking of me as well?
No, that would be silly.
Why would you think of someone you don't know?
Yet, why would I...
I suppose it's the impact of your words.

But you know what?
YOU don't even know it.
In fact, you don't know who 'you' are!
Funny thing is, 
I bet a bunch of different male poets will read this.
They will all wonder the same thing.
Is it me she speaks of?

I still can't help it though.
Your words have inspired my mind.
The thoughts, emotions, pictures you paint -
They have been a comfort of recent.
It's as if your words caress my mind,
When I've got no one to caress my body.

The mental image my mind conjures up of you,
It's gorgeous I must admit.
Which - makes me realize something as I write this.
No matter the looks of a person,
True beauty flows from the soul.
You could be 80 and crippled,
Yet reading your words you're the man of my dreams.

I should let you know who you are,
Post your name for all to gaze upon,
But I shall not.
You barley know the crest of my soul,
Not to mention we've yet to actually speak -
Only comment on each other in awe.

Perhaps I'm at a low point in life,
Though I have everything I'll ever need.
Maybe it's desperation to escape a life
I've become a prisoner of.
Or maybe, it's just truly the feeling
Of being touched by ones words.

Author notes

Pure prose. I was sitting here after reading this persons work and I felt an over flow of emotions. So I just wrote them as I thought them in my head. This was written for pleasure of my own. I don't care if you don't like it or think it's poetry. I did it for ME.

Also to clarify confusion and NOT insult anyone, this is not for MrPink.

    ~grin~ You do make it hard to return the favor of comments when you state in your author's comments of the poems I've read so far, that you don't care what we think. So I won't waste space on opinion and instead offer that you MAY wish to correct a typo or two: S1L2 should probably read "...the thought of you..." rather than "...your thought..." and S2L5 should be "I bet..." Take care and thanks!

    This is the second poem I have read by you and I don't understand what there is not to like. You are incredible with your words. That's not me sucking up to give you a hug either, chuckle. You are brilliant in writng from my viewpoint (ted e bare eyes). I lived through the journey by your words. You are an amazing writer with so true talent. I render you a hug only if you desire to accept it. Don't want you to feel your work is cheapened by offering compassion. You are a Poet!
