If I bled I still loved you,
Would you believe me?
I have no other question,
No other concern,
I don’t need to know if you care
About me
Anymore.
But,
Would you take time to look in my eyes,
Venture beyond lies,
Broken ties,
And try?
Could you journey passed whys of winter,
Barren and cold,
Windy and dry,
And see me,
Today,
Standing here,
On a freakishly summer-like May day
Saying - bleeding
I love you?
Could you hear those words
Spoken
From my lips?
Could you feel me?
See my truth?
Would you believe me?

Henry, this is a beautiful and depthful poem, full of questioning. I hope there are answers.
Intense, powerful poetry, Henry. Are these cubist-like paintings yours? Wonderful art! Lots of talent on your blog.
Soft and intense.
Love your poem. Poems that William Shatner can recite and make you feel and hang on every word is so satifying for me..
whoosh, yes.
and i'd like to hear shatner read this, too.
or you, you could read it and i would listen...
Beautiful poem. And I am blown away by the glorious tree photo above. Breathtaking old giant!
Very intense and beautiful poem!
A gorgeous poem nearly drawing me in tempted to say yes I hear, I believe :)
Beautiful and I would believe you!
Loved your words and the depth of feeling within them.

Bleeding from your pen, these words you write are fantastic! Real, felt, emotion, intelaced with wonderful, slighty dark (to this readers mind, fair warning!) imagery. Much enjoyed my visit! :)
I hope you recive the answers you are looking for.
To me...that tree looks kind of scary...just saying!
Thanks for sharing a beautiful poem all the same.
powerful writing.
Very intense, I never thought of bleeding as a form of communication, but it's true, very true.
