Set Me Free (Poetry)

arrliinn (64) in poetry • 8 years ago

If it's time to go will you set me free
Give me that much awaited liberty?
Or will you hold me back
Pull me off of my track?

If it is goodbye will you let go?
Afraid not, if I let you know.

Miss you. I know that I will
I am certain that is how you'll also feel.
The warmth that surrounds you cloak me when cold.
Honestly, I wish it stays until we are old!

If I go will you follow me?
Live a life of uncertainties?

Fly or swim.
Glide or stride.
Walk or run.
Left or right.

If I go we'll both move on.
It may be a hell of a ride, but go on.
Stay afloat we must.
We will see each other soon with own stories we have amassed.

Goodbye.
It is not forever.
Just "see you around".

This is great. It depicts clearly how sometimes, it is important to be away, to be divided for sometime to meet together again. That's what we do whenever we take a new birth, getting separated from our soul-mates and meeting them again, realising the power of true love. Amazing. I also look at things in quite a different manner. I recently wrote about the illusions that humans are trapped into about their reality. You with such a poetic and matured mind would surely like it. Its titled as WHO ARE YOU. I would be glad if you leave your feedback as well. Keep up your good work. :)

I thought the line about "let me go and follow me" was a good line for a steemit poem since you obviously want people to "follow you". Keep up the great poem writing!

Thank you @jaymorebeet! I woke up this morning and started writing that... I myself can't believe that I can still write a poem. I think last I did was way back my teens. It's refreshing- steemit is bringing about what's been buried inside me for a long time ie drawing and poetry. We'll see how far this goes. Lol.
