From No One To Some One Poem by shel cope

From No One To Some One

Rating: 5.0


I am not real
though you may think so.
Don’t be fooled.
I never was.

A semblance of humanity,
reflections evanescing,
I have no soul.

I am of myself and can only ever be so.
If I had a name I lost it long ago.

But sometimes,
In the half-light,
I forget, and dream
of possibilities.
Then waking, beg forgiveness.

Who am I? You pen your paradox with economy and an intuitive awareness that shares what is not necessarily obvious. I like your style very much. Your poetry intrigues. I agree with Ulrike. Good to have found you. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
