There Is A Depth There To Share Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Superficial surfaces,
Interpreted...
Are often neglected to produce regret.

You have never visited...
Where my emotions,
Live comfortably to sit.

Nor have any of our conversations,
Left neither of us to ponder meaning...
That expressed a desire to explore some depth.

A physical attraction may satisfy temporarily.
But that does not mean instant chemistry...
Can be expected to enjoy mutually.

And yet you wish from me to accept,
Impressions you make...
By a look of a tailored way you dress.

You have never visited...
Where my emotions,
Live comfortably to sit.

Although you voice your opinions,
With assumptions of my feelings.
Without a prioritized time given...
To meet, greet and introduce,
In an exchange we both confess.

A quality meeting we have not done yet.
For either one of us to say...
There is a depth there to share we both respect.
