i have a flower in my pocket
i have a question in my mind
i have a splinter in my awareness
i have an alter ego
who has left me
a message
in a bottle
floating hopefully
in the pool
on whose surface i gaze
hoping her reflection
will have lingered there
lazy as a smile
cute as a wink

How sweet poetry can be ..here we linger in such seetness
Thanks Nasra! Of all people on this earth, I am especially glad to have added some sweetness to your day. Thanks mfor that wonderful comment, sweet lady.
with a line like 'a splinter in my awareness' you have turned this poem into something so sweet and soft...its like a gentle summer day or chochlate melting on your tounge...wonderful!
Thanks sweet Gulnaz! The moment that inspired this poem was indeed sweet and soft. It is a real pleasure for me to share it with you. Thanks for that superb comment, my sweet.
A sweet and lovely poem, deceptively deep and beautiful :)
Ya Haqq!
Thanks Irving! Although there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, as you have so aptly observed, it still is a mistake to confuse sweet with superficial. Thanks for finding the depth here and appreciating it!
Ya Haqq!

Thanks Faye! You are a determined lass u r, to wade through four of my poem. Thanks for thouse happy and encouraging words about the universality of what we experience, sweet lady.
