A chapter in the book Scribed Relief

If I Could Look Into Your Soul

by Jewell McChesney


* my artwork
Reveal the treasured secrets
That lie far behind your eyes
What causes you to ponder
Or fake a smile to disguise

Guide me to your special wishes
beneath shelters of your dreams
Where mysteries are gathered
In gentle trickling streams

Take me to the quiet places
The still caverns of your mind
What makes your heart grow weary
What can loosen ties that bind

Escort me through the chambers
Of your hidden heart's desire
What would bring you to elation
Or could set your soul afire

Is there one thing which lies waiting
Way beneath your strong facade
Perhaps your deepest longing
That which takes you straight to God?

Be my intimate companion
Awaken that which sleeps
Unlock the door of yearning
All your secrets I will keep




Recognized


Sometimes I stroll through page after page of poetry here and I long to see something more heart felt.
Not just good writing but good emotion evoked
on the pages as if I am reading your journal
meant only for your eyes.
Sometimes I just get so bored with well written 'facts'
and perfectly, "in the box" poetry as if you're writing for your english teacher in high school.

C'mon. Tell me your secrets. Tell me your dreams
take me beyond my own wild imagination...
will ya? huh?
