To find me you need to look inside yourself.
Right here is where I am no further than you care me to be.
If you carry me in memories I'd like them to be light- I shall carry some too.
And I'll hold the door open that stands between us for you.
I don't need to win you over to my side of imaginary fences.
The more you look at yourself the more you know about me.
If my present form takes some difference to your expectations it's because I found out so late.
I care about myself because you'll understand someday.
It's the best way to care about the closest.
If we were to know all answers the two choices would be to give them where needed and silence.
The imperfections between us keep us astir with new choices for words.
And we already know all the perfections ahover in wishes.
Are each of us in form to seek out what the other is seeking?
I'd be blind for you if you really asked because there are other ways of seeing.
Hold up a hand and catch the air you breathe- no easier to catch the essence of love yet it is just as ever-present.
Look within and that much is evident.
How is it you decided you would know me can you point it out?
Or was I like you supposed to come to awareness of myself first?
The great truth is I have no edge or grasp over any other soul.
Mine is equal footing with all around you.
The importance of me comes from you.
And so is it my work for you.
Being the right kind of person to hold you in much the same way.
It takes practice and patience being flawed just right.
Such as my like for working towards you over from you and away.
It's me who needs to say you're already here and I have not forgotten.
So I have something to work away from which is the perfection within you.
If you think about it not a word need be spoken for who we are.
Seeing as I love you already within myself and willing to adapt your form to your whim.
You'll be ready for me when you've chosen yourself.
I welcome you deciding to be who you are again because I've already accepted you.
Come, dear, know I am comforting you in your own words.
What you already have is all you need.
I'm not the perfect aspect you've chosen out.
Then again, neither are you.
Given your desire I continue to work on it.
And it does me good to be as much you as me.

To she who loves me, who will know when she knows. That right kind of inner voice produces; I gladly follow the words.

I greatly, greatly appreciate the feature, Natasek, thank you very very much. :D I've been gone for the weekend at a concert/visiting a friend or I'd have replied earlier. I'm curious- how did you come across all the poetry that you've found for this feature? What were you looking for- what guided you to the works that you presented? I'm curious. :) Thanks again.
:iconnatasek:
You're most welcomed ;)
Interesting question. I actually featured all the poems I've faved in a year of two (one poem per one artist). I wasn't searching that much... I'm kind of picky with poetry so I could't have picked them in a day. Thank you.

Wow. Just wow.
Definitely deserved the feature - very brilliant!
An instant fave.

*nods* I understand some, now. Sometimes, I like to use the deviantsearch engine to see what interesting things I can find- 'wandering' so to speak, although I haven't ever done poem-specific wandering. While I'm out there, finding poetry is kindof like a bonus- I don't come across many poets, although a few- I'd like to make special mention of two I really enjoy reading the poems of: Bundle-W and Solielmack. If you've time, take a peek- they have some wonderful writing in their galleries. :)
:iconshawn-reed:
sorry, bundle-w and soleilmack (make sure I spell right and get caps correct ^_^'';)
:iconnatasek:
I do sometimes use dA search engine for poetry as well, but it still takes awhile to find something great. It's just that I've developed a confusing poetry style and most poems just won't move me now. And thank you for the recommendations, I'll make sure to check them out. :hug:
