I can almost see you
I know I don’t know you…
Simultaneously, I know everything about you…
You are in my dreams…
In my thoughts…
We meet there occasionally…
There is the known and unknown…
That magical seductive dance that ignites my imagination…
Recognition….
There you are…
Waiting for me…
On the edge of peripheral…
~*~
Again you show why you are wonderful word-smith.
To see someone in your dreams occasionally would be sublime. Probably better than in person as there is no dinner to buy, money to spend 😉
Seriously though, another beautiful poem Christina. Thank you for sharing it with us

Flitting here or flitting there
Edge to edge
Stair to stair
I’ll watch you
As you watch me
Corner of the eye
Where you can’t see
Maybe I’m here and maybe
I’m not
But know you this
I am besot
Smitten
Struck by your beauty
And heart
Mayhap we’ll meet
In passing of the dark
When light is scarce
The mind on a lark
A flicker on the edge
A smile unseen
Perhaps one day I’ll dare to dream
Of us.
-Eris
POST SCRIPT THING:
I had to do it. Your poem ignited the fire of inspiration and I had to answer in kind. Forgive me? I love words; I love your words, this poem is simultaneously sweet and eerie. It also does that thing where it says more with fewer words, so that it reads long but is actually short. I love that trick. The way the words are forged just flows right. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Forgive you? No….no reason, that was so beautiful!! Thank you? Oh Yes!! Because you have in turn ignited a sequel or two…can’t say…a girl has to keep her mystery…but stay turned 😉 As for loving words….we share in that as well…I love everything about them…using them in different ways to mean different things…just love it!
Truly, I am very honored that my words could inspire…and be so loved…you’ve given me a smile that will last for a long long time…thank you 🙂

That Christina is still on the periphery
Her words once more inspire
Set imagination on fire
When does she emerge from her reverie?

This is pure delight Christina. There is mystery and romance here — very exciting for the reader — and makes me want MORE!!! This can be a series for you … that “unknown” person waiting behind the curtains of destiny… waiting patiently for you… on the periphery for the perfect time to emerge. Consider a part II 🙂
Oh goodness – I am so happy to see you here and writing. And so agree this is: Brilliant —
Much Love to you sweetest friend ~ Robyn
